Thoughts, ShibariCon

Still trying to find the time to reflect on ShibariCon. This was forwarded to me by (Formerly) Achingly Defiant, and I thank the gods for ex-girlfriends.
I'll write of at least one ShibariCon-based epiphany that I had, concerning Mirage:
It's not that she was The One That I've Been Waiting For, it's just that she was the first girl in my entire life with whom I finally felt like I could be fallible in front of. I gave her a type of virginity that I didn't even know I still had in me, and the reason I've been struggling so much to get over the pain of our breakup is simply this:
I'm a heartbroken, recently deflowered virgin.
Of course this hurts. I waited thirty five years for someone I could trust like that.
