Pleasure in life
Embracing Pleasure, Freedom, and the New Moon in Pisces
Pleasure in life can take many forms—whether it’s savoring a delicious meal, indulging in sensual experiences, or simply enjoying a quiet moment alone. Yet, more often than not, pleasure is primarily associated with sexuality.
This morning, I woke up with a clear sign: today is a day for writing. I made myself a cup of tea and returned to bed, completely naked. That feeling—the warmth of the tea, the softness of the sheets, the freedom of my bare skin—was an absolute pleasure in itself.
There is a profound joy in simply being, without the expectation of opening myself up to someone else, without the assumption that my body must be an invitation. If I were in a relationship, this moment might have been interpreted as an unspoken offer. But must a woman’s nudity, confidence, or sensuality always be an invitation? Not from my perspective. I love being naked because it makes me feel free.
The Rise of Independent Women
As we approach the New Moon in Pisces, themes of intimacy and solitude are especially present. Society often attaches certain labels to women who are single—especially during deeply introspective lunar phases. A recent post from @femininevest mentioned that by 2030, nearly 45% of women are expected to be single. I find this incredibly interesting, particularly because, throughout history, women have existed in the shadows of men. In many ways, we still do.
But what happens when we choose singleness not out of necessity, but because we are thriving? If women find joy in their own company, why would they return to traditional relationships unless a partner is willing to uplift them rather than overshadow them? Ideally, it wouldn’t be a one-sided effort—we would lift each other. But ultimately, our personal values should matter more than societal or familial expectations.
