Owning my desire

Being Swedish, it has always been quite a challenge for me to really own my desire. In the church desire is in general frowned upon if not outright demonised, unless of course it is the desire for god. All other desire has at least in my mind been a temptation from the dark one. A hint of shadow, a reminder of all things unwanted.

Only recently have I understood that If I want to change something about myself I must first accept it, because what you resist persists.
