You are stunningly beautiful in ALL of the photos here, even in the one that you hate.

I know that you're very aware of how people see you and that, in and of itself is alluring but the thing that really makes you so enticing is your words. Physical beauty is wonderful but if there's nothing behind the eyes and if there's no thoughtful intention, it's just pretty pictures.

I really enjoy reading your writing, learning your journey and how you're discovering who and what you are more and more. Thank you for letting us in to your world (at least as much as you feel comfortable and safe sharing)...

Mark, thank you for your thoughtful words. I'm happy you find interest in my haphazardness. My writing stems from a desire for connection because in "real" life we tend to keep it all shut tight.

I totally understand that. I'm in a new city with no one but The Inherited Dachshund and figuring out how to make connections here. Don't get me wrong, the move was the right choice and I love this city (Sacramento CA) but it can get lonely.

As for your "haphazardness" isn't that the result of being human? Often our thoughts are illogical and don't make any rational sense, the fact that you allow that into your writing just means that you're brave enough to reveal truth.

And that's to be celebrated.

Your reflection is an inspiring and powerful testament to self-discovery, autonomy, and the reclamation of your sensuality. It’s incredible to see how you’ve transformed the challenges of your past into a source of empowerment and liberation. By embracing your body, your creativity, and your desires, you’ve cultivated a confidence that radiates not just in your photos but also in your voice as a writer and provocateur.

Your journey from living within the confines of societal and cultural expectations to unapologetically owning your narrative is deeply moving. The way you describe your photo shoots as a “mental pilgrimage” and a form of self-care highlights the beauty in using art and expression to process emotions and connect with oneself.

Thank you for sharing your vulnerability, humor, and passion. You’re creating a space for others to reflect on their own journeys, challenging the stigma around sensuality, and showing that it’s possible to be multifaceted—a commanding sexual goddess, a thoughtful artist, and everything in between. Keep embracing every angle and every song that moves you—you’re lighting a path for others to do the same. 🖤

LOVE a pastor’s wife to hottie goddess character arc. And you’re living it! Well done Desiree. The chair photos are my favorite, though you are sensual and beautiful in all.
