i appreciate the open, honest and passionate discussion of this important topic. seeing other perspectives and being able to share and hear from others, is where the best wisdom can be found.

i think for me as a sub, it is all about balance. knowing myself inside and out. feeling comfortable inside my own skin. not seeing my external relationships as something that makes me whole... but rather compliments the person that i am. what i bring to the relationship is just as vital as what i take from the relationship. much like the mutual power exchange between my Master and me.

looking myself over, physically, emotionally, spiritually... re-assesing and challenging myself to greater personal growth, is not a bad thing. i think a Dom appreciates a sub that is a vibrant, curious, and growing individual.

my sexuality is not merely in my outward appearance, or demeanor... it resides within me.. my heart, passion and spirit. but those "inner fires" are also reflected in how i present myself to others too. the pride i take in my appearance, my behavior and my character exude that inner self.

the yearning to please my Master and bring him honor, not being a "perfect" sub *as there is not such think*. but striving to find my best submission. knowin that this process is not about the destination... it is about the journey. striving to continue to grow, challenge and value the person that i am... myself. my Masterps posession.
