Ok, as I've been here about three months now, and seeing as this is my 100th post, I thought I'd do something interesting and throw some thoughts out there. Just some things that have come into my head as I continue to learn and develop in this new environment. This'll be fairly unstructured, so feel free to leave at any point. but to those of you who slug it out...my thanks.

I guess what's surprised me most is that I've learned more about myself than anything else. I've looked at others lives, talked about things, had some interesting discussions and experiences and I've come away understanding a couple of things about what makes me tick. Without going into my life-story, this has been very interesting, as it's shown me I'm not quite as together as I may have thought. But I've exposed some positive facets of myself, enough to hold that in balance. We move forwards.

I think what surprised me most was talking to people who live the D/s life full0time. Obviously, at my tender years I've got no experience of that, but hearing their accounts makes me very interested in trying it. It's lead me to think that at the heart of it, a good relationship in that manner approaches symbiosis. Of course, a relationship probably doesn't have to be D/s to reach that kind of connection, but it can approach it from an angle that gives perhaps a unique advantage. There's something about that thought of two people connecting completely and acting with that level of harmony that makes me want to feel it. Not uncommon, I'm sure.

I've also been very impressed with the caliber of people this site seems to attract. Of course, I don't know if this level of 'good-personness' is representative of the entire world of kink in general (although my inner cynic says it can't be. he's very opinionated), but certainly in a very short time I've encountered some impressive and down-right amazing people.

The main thing is that for everything I've learnt, I seem to be generating more questions, coming up with more ideas, more thoughts and flashes of inspiration that just lead to more questions. Of course, the challenge now is going forwards and putting them into practice. Wish me luck, as I wish it to you.

Alright, I'm sure I've taken up enough of your time now, if you've read this far. Thank you for those of you who took the time, and double-thanks to those who take the further time to talk to me about it. I hope you've found my little musings interesting.

Here's to the next hundred! (and the next, and the next, and the next...)
