Currently listening to: DREAM – LISA feat. Kentara Sakaguchi
Whenever I close my eyes
It’s taking me back in time
Been drowning in dreams lately
Like it’s 2019, baby
Whenever I’m missing you
Call you up, but I can’t get through
Don’t know where you sleep lately
But I’ll see you in my dreams, maybe
We can catch up, drive down our old street
If all that we were is all that we’ll ever be
It’s bittersweet
At least a girl can dream
How did you learn about sex?
Prompt snagged from: NY Times
In three different ways, go figure.
Sex education in grade school (before this, I thought people got pregnant from kissing and hugging). But in a scientific way. That’s when we learned about the sex organs and reproduction. I thought it left us students with more questions but we were afraid to ask questions because no one wanted to look like “that pervy kid”.
A church friend (a girl a year younger than me) invited me and other kids over to her house and she showed us a porno she found in the house. I don’t know where she got it from but we sat down and watched it in silence. When it was finished, none of us said a word and we pretended we didn’t see what we saw.
Lastly, from reading books. These coming of age teen books were very descriptive and from everything I learned at school and the visuals from the porn, I now could imagine it with the words that were written.
My dad once tried his best to give me “the talk”. He said in Korean, “Don’t trust any boy. He’ll just steal your virginity and your dignity. You’re like a precious flower, so protect yourself.” Every time he brought it up, I couldn’t help but laugh, partly because of how dramatic it sounded and cause… well it was my dad.
