Diary entry - Our souls will bear the scars.
September 9, 2023
I’ve learned that we are hopelessly psychosomatic. When something happens to the body, it affects the mind, or soul some might say. I suppose we can thank creation, evolution, God, or all the above.
Sex is the human hunger to know and be known by another human. Taken by itself, the satisfaction of this human hunger is beautiful and natural, but I know now that much more happens within.
The knowing goes deeper than even the loveliest edges of our physical selves. Sex that is honest and draws two humans closer brings health to their psyches. Dishonest loves scar the psyche with each betrayal.
I have betrayed Shane. Our souls will bear the scars. If I am honest with myself, it seems that I'll betray any true love I find in this life.

Author's Note
After Friday's counseling session I wrote this diary entry. The photo is edited from one Shane took shortly after August 5. I see the grief.

"Sex that is honest and draws two humans closer brings health to their psyches. Dishonest loves scar the psyche with each betrayal." Dishonest love also bring stresses that have physical health effects. Doctors who have studied incidence of heart attacks in men with regard to sex lives have found men faithful to wives had better heart health than those who engage in illicit sex.

You have to talk the person you love and tell them what you need. Keep on writing.
