I have already decided who I am and what I want, but I stall in making a start to get to where I want to be, and begin to second guess myself.
What I am really wanting to know is how happy people are who have made that decision to switch lifestyles, and how difficult it was in the beginning, and how they made it easier.

i wish i could help more, but i was fortunate to have found my place (and my Master) very early in my life. i do know though that this is the only life that could ever truly fulfill me.

all i can really tell you is this, if (Goddess forbid, i am not claiming it) something were to happen to the Dragon, i would move forwrd, but i would do it alone rather than in a vanilla relationship or in a relationship with a Master who had a fundamentally different philisophy (regarding lifestyle and life) than i do.

i hope this is a bit more helpful
