On a Satyr's Desire

On Satyrs' Desires

I have long known that my attitudes and opinions separate me from most "normal" people. One of the most painful aspects of the Awakening for Satyrs is the constant conflict we maintain between our satyristic impulses and what this society has thrust upon us as "acceptable behavior". Each of us has been raised to believe in the concept that we should continually look for that "one certain someone" with which we should plan to spend the rest of our lives. Unfortunately, for Satyrs, it doesn't work that way. I have known some who can handle the "societal norm" and are quite happy with the "one person" in their life. IMHO, however, this is a suppression of one part of themselves.

This is not to say that they are wrong. In this realm, we each must make the choice of what we choose to embrace and what we choose to hide/suppress. Additionally, due to the training of society, all satyrs continually find themselves wondering at the idea of "Have I finally found the one?" only to find their minds/hearts/hormones wandering at the next opportunity and wondering if they are evil. Or if anyone can understand how they feel.

I only offer this: One should always remember that you are *NOT* alone. I can't begin to tell you how much of a comfort it was to me to find another satyr who had endured the same things I have. Just knowing I wasn't alone in my feelings made WORLDS of difference to my peace of mind. So take this as reassurance:

You are NOT crazy! You are NOT "evil"!
And, most important, you are NOT alone in your feelings!

Perhaps to let you know the depth of my feelings, I offer this:
