Sometimes I have to take a step back, and look at things as I did for the first time. I have to keep in mind that one of the most important aspects of this lifestyle is consent. That power flows from the bottom up, not the top down.
That I shouldn’t overstep my boundaries. That in time, more trust will develop, and the relationship will grow, and the boundaries will extend. That with this comes intimacy, strength, and possibly love.
That even with all the responsibility, trust, and faith I’ve been given, I must retain my humility. That power does not need to be exerted to be felt.
That I had none of this, and have been given everything.
power flows from within was we can call “us” not from one person, though some speculate that, despite her position, the submissive holds all the power, because she can withdraw her consent at any time. What people fail to understand is that the Dominant may also withdraw concent. I like to believe that each time something brushes up against my comfort zone its an oportunity to grow a little bit. I know that by trusting my partner and not withdrawing immediately that we’re building trust there. In the end, i know he’ll be there and he’ll be proud of me for what i’ve endured or overcome.
Afterall, one cannot be worldly, without first stepping outside of ones city limits.
