"Barely Submissive"- A Question of Being

[jeanne]

And, for Goddess' sake, put some fun into it, too. It's not weak to laugh or to cry or to feel your own frailty or take the occasional ego trip or even to be a little silly. It's human. It's life.

Amen! I've recently discovered this very thing - he seems to enjoy my wit, my brain, my silliness as much as he enjoys my submission. Yay!

I think it is a sign of strength to struggle to understand your fears, how you are strong and how you want to become.

Absolutely true.

tessa, thank you for the compliment - I'm new to the forums and it was very cool to be quoted in sombody else's comment for the first time. : )

Parts of this life seem incredibly appealing, and parts are just plain scary to somebody coming into it for the first time, especially for the submissive. I know, Doms take risks emotionally too, but they still aren't risking being on the receiving end of an ER trip.

Wedjat - here you are - quoted again.

Just plain scary? Hell, yes! Both emotionally and physically. But, oh so worthwhile. Very worthwhile.
