The difference between thinking and knowing.

[jeanne]

I still have a lot to learn, but this is where I want to be.

That’s not quite right. This may be what I want but this is also what I need.

That realization - that it's more than just a desire for a little kink in your life, but is a bone-deep need to submit - is the first big step. I'm so happy for you!

That's a very powerful experience, isn't it? It happened in a very similar way for me too. A word of praise, on the phone - I caught my breath; my vision actually darkened for a moment. The man I was speaking to didn't think I'd lost my reason, though - he knew exactly what had happened.

We usually do.

Yes. You always do, milord.
