I've wondered the same thing myself many times. I've spent the past several years doing everything that a good, respectable young woman should--- and then, a year ago, I met these guys--- The One Taste crew (I call them "The Pleasure Community")--- and my world turned upside down. I was left wondering what was "right" and who I "should" be--- being one person to some friends, and another person to other friends. It was exhausting! But I've found that over the last year, all of my different selves have melded together--- there is always room for growth, but at least I'm growing as one (still multifaceted) person now. I think that the answer to "how can I love every part of myself" is to hold yourself as perfect and have your desires and everything you do as right. If you feel like you want to do something sexy or adventurous, don't feel guilty about it, or wonder how it will impact the good, sweet loving girl (shall I suggest, woman) that you are--- just say "okay, that's how I'm feeling now"--- acknowledge it, have it as okay, live out your desire, and enjoy it. And if you want to be a good, sweet, loving woman who wants to take her little sis out for ice cream or whatever, do that, and have fun with it. As long as you are always honest with yourself, and hold yourself as perfect, you cannot go wrong. It is in that practice that everything just falls into place. It is only when you cling to an image of yourself that is only part of who you are that you feel incomplete, split in two. And I think, often, this need to cling to something that is only part of us is a form of resistence to the other part of us. If you work through that resistence, you can see the full, complete picture of who you are; sweet, loving, good, and sensual and adventurous. Don't we all want to be both?
