When Desire Speaks Louder Than Reason

Some things are born in silence. A thought that keeps returning, an impulse you can’t quite explain, a desire that insists on resurfacing even when you try to erase it. You call it a fetish, but perhaps it’s simply a part of you trying to be heard. The right question was never “is this wrong?” The question is: “what does this say about me?”

Desire, when repressed, creates noise. But when understood, it becomes power. The problem is not what you feel it’s how you relate to what you feel. Some seek pleasure as an escape, others use it as a mirror. One reveals truth; the other hides emptiness. You must know on which side you stand.

Many carry guilt that was never theirs. They were taught to fear pleasure, to hide their bodies, to control what is natural. And the more they repress it, the stronger it becomes. But pleasure is not the enemy of reason it is the path to knowing it. When you stop fighting what you feel, you begin to understand what truly moves you.

Any desire can become a cage if it’s used to fill a void. When pleasure turns into necessity, you lose control. When the body acts before the mind, something within you is asking for help. True pleasure is born from choice, not urgency. Where there is clarity, there is control. And where there is control, there is freedom.

There is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” fetish. There is only what destroys you and what reveals you. And to know the difference, you need courage: the courage to look at yourself without disguise. What you do does not define who you are. But how you do it does. Perhaps your fetish is not a mistake to be fixed, but a door one that, if opened with awareness, can lead you to the truest version of yourself.
