A small joy: I love it when someone who is a casual friend trusts me with some secret little corner of their existence. In this case, a person I don't know particularly well decided to spontaneously share with me a fun kink thing they are involved in just because they were dying to tell someone how much they were enjoying it. They picked me because "I just knew you'd be cool with it!"

They were right. Plus, in a time when I feel so consistently disliked and misrepresented, it's nice to have a stranger think I'm a good person to trust with a secret.
