Excellent question Vicki .. heck, i have come so far!
The biggest thing i have learned, apart from, unfortunately, how cruel people can be, is that as far as the D/s goes.. online is not enough anymore, although i am in no way knocking it... but i want and need real experiences now and.. i am grabbing onto them with both hands.
No more standing in the shadows, hiding away, scared. Don't get me wrong, i take safety seriously, i'd be a fool not to in real life, but.. life really IS too short.. and it IS for living and i intend to do so, to the best of my abilities. So i am taking a deep breath, gathering all my courage around me and trusting a special person to help me do this.

i also learned how valuable a TRUE friend is.. one who stands by you, behind you and in front of you as is needed. Who is there for you regardless of distance and who pulls you up, dusts you off and gets you moving again when things go wrong. i have been lucky enough to find a friend like this in my sister, seamedblackstockings, and whatever happens in the future - this fantastic woman will always be in my life and i will love her for ever.

Wow.. that turned a bit emotional lol.. anyway.. that's what i've learned .. oh and that the banking crash really sucks LOL
