Intro
Nube
Kandi Raver
I
know I am going to get a lot of crap from both sides. Let me explain
where I come from so that we all understand each other. For a while
now I have been whats called an adult little. There are other labels
for it but I am not too fond of them.
I
don't want to get into too much detail about my little side because I
had both good and bad. The concept of an adult little is one who
dresses up as a child and gets into the mind set of one. I began
doing this because it was my way to reflect upon the world in a
positive manner.
I
was bullied through out my school years. I succeeded at
overcoming the drama in high school but it still left
scaring. My way of dealing with it was getting into an adult size
onsie and being a child. In the AB community we call it regressing.
I
hid this part of me because those who I told either accepted it or
they attempted to make it sound like they did. In short I began to
isolate myself from people because I did not feel like I belonged
anywhere. I was constantly given crap for my obsession of My little
pony. If people gave me crap for MLP then it would be the end of the
world if they knew what I did behind closed doors or so I thought.
Why
a Raver
Remix
and Cape First
I
am so ready to end the isolation I put myself in. So here is why I
want to be a Raver. When I was welcomed to Cape First Church I felt
accepted. Something changed inside of me during the time I first
started attending Cape First Church. Ever since I came back from the
Remix retreat I went on; the wall that separated me from freedom
continued to crumble down.
Let
me fast forward to a week or so ago. I was with my Brony friends and
we had a great time hanging out. We watched a couple of My little
pony episodes together. One of the episodes really stirred me and not
in the usual way. It was just a couple of scenes that got me.
There
was a scene with Vinyl scratch the DJ pony and a Raver pony named
Pacific Glow. I noticed that she had a pacifier on a necklace. It
took a couple of scenes for me to see that it actually was a
pacifier. So after coming back home from hanging out with my friends
I started doing research on the whole concept of dance music and
pacifiers.
Not all was positive but I saw hope and an opportunity. I have got this idea that if I can give up my regressing for the joy of music/worship as a Raver then I might be able to end my Isolation I put my self in. I felt something deep within me change and it was in short a revelation from God.
I am leaving behind the AB/DL community for in hope that I can accept who I am. I may have been healing but I was continuing the scaring. Worst part is the fact that I literally had no idea what I was doing until God pointed it out to me. I was creating a false Identity because I did not want to be hurt like I did in school. My hiding behind closed doors ends now.
I am having a lot of trouble with formatting so please excuse the small font until I find some one who can help me with HTML code as I have no freekin clue how to edit it. Every time I try it screws everything up.
ReplyDeleteA raw and beautiful testimony of personal pain and God's healing process!! God loves you and that is a constant in all our lives that we can depend on regardless of our stories or treatment from others. Everyone grieves and deals with stresses in various ways....some unhealthy, as some turn to drugs and other self-destructive ways. You are brave to share your pain and healing process and I'm so thankful that you have your church family to help you through this journey.
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could have spared you the bullying from others....as your mother, I feel I must have been able to do more to spare you these scars....but then I am reminded that your life experiences have made you the beautiful person you are today. I know .....because of your experience .....I can proudly say I have NEVER SEEN YOU BE UNKIND OR EVEN SPEAK UNKINDLY to or of anyone!
Let God continue his healing....he has a plan for you!!
I love you son!!!
