Self Awareness

I am slowly catching up with people after being away the next two days for me are rather full on with a few things and next week I am looking after my best friends kids while she goes on a relaxing holiday to Rarotonga … hehe I told her she’s a bitch and I’m jealous but I loves her anyways. And she better bring me back chocolate if I haven’t gone mad by then.

I happened to read a fellow bloggie friends blog this morning and it made me smile because she’s kinda questioning her submissive’ness and I do sometimes too. It happens, I think it’s a natural process to do so at times especially when one talks to other sub’s and reads other blogs sometimes it does make you question things. The point being … we are all different and as submissives/slaves we all approach D/s differently.And learning to become self aware and processing things is very much a big part of it.

For some it’s a physical process moreso than a mental process, for me it’s definately a process that starts in mind, the physical is a bonus and fun :D . I over think and over analyze everything and sometimes like her I sometimes wonder if I am submissive but deep down there are facets that are and I know it. Outwardly most don’t see it, mainly because I keep it well hidden. It’s a part of me that is very internal and only comes out in the right circumstances.And I know how deep it can go because I have been there before. I miss that place. I thrive in that space.

Day to day life I am anything but submissive. I run a business, I manage and organise various things and in a sense I suppose I am a service Domme, I will happily step into a role where I need to take charge, supervise, organise and manage people. I do it quite easily but it does absolutely nothing for me. I’m crap at organising and looking after myself and sometimes I think a little micro management would be a good thing lol. I have always had jobs where there have been high stress levels, deadlines and major organisational skills required. I need the release when I am not in those places and that’s where the subbie mode kicks in. I want the control taken from me. It balances me. It gives me time to nurture a part of myself that needs a little nudge.

Finding the right dominant is not easy and when you start to be a little self aware of the things that make you tick I suppose you start to get a little picky. She’s a subbie through and through and she’s also a very intelligent woman and there are facets to her personality that may make her think shes not subbie but we both know she is … just like I know I am. We both are plodding along this journey and learning along the way and hell if we are picky and not going to settle for second best then so be it …. I know she and I will find what we need … we are just taking our time and personally I think it’s the best way to be. So my dear, yes you are submissive … you just need the right man to bring it out in you and I can’t wait till the day it happens xxx

And on that note I am off out the door to a meeting to organise more people ugh ….

    Your grammar checker needs a damned good spanking.

    I guess what I have found discouraging about D/s at times is how damned prescriptive it is. “You must be like *this* to be a submissive.” It’s nonsense. The label is always a convenience; it doesn’t define who you are.

    So self challenge, change and evolution are all healthy. I personally far prefer that to people who state “this is what I am” and never challenge that again. Life is about growth and change, and it’s like those people have killed their own self image.

    The other thing that springs to mind is that yes, submission (and dominance) are kind of wasted on the single. We know it’s something we crave, but it doesn’t really flower without the right person or people to share it with.

    Lol nope I just freewrite and don’t check it .. I iz lazy like that.

    Absolutely agree there’s far too much emphasis put on what one “should” be instead of just accepting differences and knowing the difference between stupidness and common sense.

    Growth is what life is all about. The D/s could be channeled in other directions when “singledom” is amok but yes it doesn’t flower without the dynamic present.
