Pearls of wisdom : )
When I first signed onto CM several people made me feel welcome, and a handful have inspired me.  This person hit me over the head with his "clue by four"  when I needed it most and enlightened me in a way that only he can !  laughing.
 Truly what I needed to hear, exactly how and when I needed to hear it.  My relationship was and is the beneficiary of some of his pearls of wisdom.

Even though this isn't a tag-line, and it comes from an email exchange, I do have his permission to share this portion of it here.

Bitch slaps her upside the fucking head with a CLUE by four!

Woman, the fucking man LOVES you for exactly who you are and that love is deep enough to let the one woman he has ever wanted go and stay friends with you AND trying to tell a very deaf woman that he STILL wants her.

He has decided over years of time that you are the ONLY woman he wants and that the distance doesn't matter because you are that perfect for him.

THAT perfect is NOT the same as being perfect cause you ain't but you ARE perfect for him.

Stop beating yourself up about not being perfect because he sees you as perfect.  The only thing keeping you from being perfect for him isn't your failings, isn't the distance, isn't anything but you not being able to let go of yourself and just be.  I am no good at searching but LA is.  You need to read a post about submissives letting go and surrendering by BitaTrouble a while back.

no wonder from me at all... I smile whenever I read either of your postings on threads..

 
nice topic, btw 
I actually do have a book/journal of my own started..not necessarily bdsm related.  I just love when I run across pearls of wisdom and so I write them in a journal of sorts.  I got the idea from watching one of my daughters favorite movies " a walk to remember".. the characters mother kept a book like that and then left it to her daughter.  Just snipets of lyrics, pearls, quotes etc that were significant to her and in her life.
 
anyway..I'm rambling
  
thanks again, for the topic and for your ( both of you) willingness to share your experiences and thoughts so openly here on this forum.
I know I am not alone in my appreciation.

I keep thinking about this one line, forgot who said it, sorry, but I keep using it here and everywhere...

"never make someone a priority who sees you as an option."

This truly sums up so many fucked up relationships, doesn't it?




I believe that was me....and you're welcome.

The exact line, as I got it passed to me, was:

Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.


For my addition, I've always been partial to...

Let me say this is a very good thread. It actually gets one's mind working. I've been giving your question some thought, and although there isn't one thing anyone has said that sticks out in my mind, I think that if a submissive is lucky enough to find and meet a lady from collarme, it eliminates a very large concern that we all have in the vanilla world. That being how to broach the subject of one's desire to release total control to another. I have had two failed vanilla marriages, and many relationships. Now, I won't try to tell anyone that it was because my partners weren't into domination and submission, but i believe it was at least part of the reason why they failed. We all have at least one interest that wouldn't be considered normal in the vanilla world. If that weren't the case, then there wouldn't be any need for a site like this. I myself have many, but the main things that excite me that isn't what most consider "norm" are chastity and bondage.
Through sites like this, there is no need to hide what we want in a relationship. It is much easier to explain to a prospective partner the advantages of their one being in control, and one submitting to the other's desires. The downside being that in "normal" relationships, the man can ease into his disclosures, where in our lifestyle, it is usually the main ficus in the beginning.
As far as a book on the subject goes, it would be a very good idea, but who would you feel comfortable having read it on the coffee table/ That could get a little tricky.
I read your response to my B&B thread, and if you ever do go to the outer banks to visit the hotel, please let me know how you liked it. Better yet, invite me to go along. hehehehe

But the boards have met much more to me than the brilliant posts and quotes.  For me, this has been a really important place to finally begin to accept, just a wee bit, who I am a little more.

I had lurked on alt.sex.bondage and then soc.subculture.bdsm in the years before netscape introduced pictures to the web and did the TES mailing list and all sorts of other things.  I still think I'm more vanilla than many people here, but I also have started to see (and more importantly feel) how this whole thing can actually work.  I've been here, under a couple of names, for 2 years now, and during that time had my first live-in D/s relationship and started to uncover who I am.

The biggest pearl of wisdom is that I can be 'real' in The Velveteen Rabbit sense of the word, without giving up things that are important to me.  I can be a sub and still have opinions and a career and wit and even a sense of humor, and anyone who tells me elsewise just isn't going to work with me.  I'm very grateful to you all.  (Well, most of you... ;)

Here’s a few favorites from the archives.  Enjoy!!! :)


LadiesBladewing:

My philosophy on relationships is to cherish each and every one -- even the ones that teach in harsh ways rather than gentle.


RiotGirl:
quote:

In the end, when all said is done, all i will have is myself and if i have broken my trust, broken my loyalty and not been true to myself - i will have nothing.


daddysprop247:
quote:

my Master alone decides if and where any lines will be drawn. but unlike some, i don't live by the qualifiers of "oh i have complete trust in him", or "oh we are completely compatible". it's pretty simple really. He Master. me slave. lol.

LuckyAlbatross:
quote:

I agree that I often feel prickled with Merc and Beths post in that I get the impression they are somehow trying to convey a message of " supreme state of slavery." But since I know they aren't anything like a supreme state of slavery, it's really not a big deal.

darkinshadows:
quote:

There are many slaves/subs whos single goal is to submit and serve totally... whos only need is to serve and nothing else. To make their Dominant happy. They serve, they submit and their entire life revolves around their Dominant. They have no need for a hobby, or for time alone... If a subslave needs fulfills them.. and they find such an outlet..then good luck to them.

GoddessJules: 
quote:

If you want to start dictating to *me* how and in what manner to post. . .you are welcome to pay my monthly broadband bill and I might consider it.


cynnacent1:
quote:

It's really silly that there are so many out there who see the label 'submissive' and translate it in their minds as feeble minded, vulnerable, or dimwitted. Submissive/slave doesn't equal 'gullible', 'pushover', 'patsy', 'basket case', 'chump' nor 'easy mark' ..... at least not in my opinion.



subgreg:
quote:

I am very much an extension of Ma'am, at all times, and therefore must conduct myself how she deserves. This varies from setting to setting, with the common undercurrent being my love and respect for her.

Darthbetta: 
quote:

Well, one night I was using my single tail on my date, and apparently she can't handle that kind of punishment, because when I struck her she just farted, flew around the room, and out the window to deflate on the sidewalk below....I sooo need a real slave.....


krikket:
quote:

when i hear/read the words "true" or "real" i stop listening/reading PDQ. Personally i love the shades of gray, or any other color, for that matter. It's what gives us the texture and taste of someone, of a relationship, and keeps me interested.

MizSuz: 
quote:

The only person who gets to decide whether or not I am a dominant is me. Everybody else's opinion about my dominance is just that, their opinion.


ShiftedJewel:
quote:

When you are young you believe you have the world by the balls... it eventually proves you wrong, that's where maturity comes from. When you learn to stop fighting windmills and learn to chose your battles wisely and celebrate your victories quietly.

 
ScooterTrash:
quote:

It's not natural to be jealous, that's another one of them societal embedded behaviors. If someone has issues with jealousy, it's a personal thing to them and them alone and poly won't work for them...they need to run away from a poly relationship as fast as they can. I've said it before and I'll say it again, you cannot control jealousy, you either live with it, or you simply dismiss it from you emotional menu.

Sometimes I wonder if there was any way to publish some of these threads in a bound () hardcover book.  It never ceases to amaze me the depth of knowledge, insight and at times, stupidity that abounds in this fabulous little place of ours..  Lately, it's the signature lines or little snippets of knowledge within a post that have been capturing my attention..
So, I'd like to know.. Are there any pearls of wisdom from certain Collarchat.com posters that really resonate with you?  I'll start with one that hit me like a ton of bricks today:  (please remember to credit the author )

"I don't buy into people who ask me to accept them as they *will* be (or promise to be), rather than as they *are*.  I'm a firm believer that what you see is what you get.
 
If what you see isn't what you expected, either adjust your expectations or change your surroundings.  It's been my experience that *making* someone into what we wish them to be (or what they wish that they were) isn't very successful  "
-Rover




I considered this possibility once, then I reviewed 30 or 40 of my more recent posts and decided that I say such genuinely brilliant stuff on more than an ongoing basis and I figured if I ever really invested the time to put them all into one volume, I'd never get any of my regular work done.

Your course is exactly that, YOUR course, it is not for anyone on these forums to tell you how or what you should do within your relationship.
 
ProtagonistLily:
quote:

And while I may identify as a submissive, I have been a plain old garden variety pain slut bottom in my time too. The two are not mutually exclusive in my mind; however, they are certainly not the same.


Sensualips:
quote:

I think the thing about faith is you either have it or you don't. You choose to believe, without proof or logic, or you choose to be safe and reasonable. 


BeachMystress:
quote:

taking money to beat people isn't in any way unethical to me. Most boxers wouldn't be getting into the ring and beating each other into mush without the monetary compensation.



Estring:
quote:

I think we all are born submissive. We all get our asses smacked when we pop out of our mothers. Perhaps how we react to that spanking determines if we will be sub or Dom.

But ultimately... it is still a timepiece.

 
WayHome:

It gets old being in a conversation with other humans and then seeing a glint of a small prejudice that undermines the dialog and chips at your humanity, but defies confrontation.

 
karmaslave:

Here's a quick example of why some people, like me, preferring being switches:
I want to be tied up, spanked, beaten, raped, and after its all over, you better make me a goddamn sammich, 'cuz I'm hungry, and being a slut takes a lot of work!

Sanity: I once gave a shit, a magical shit... an amazing shit, a breathtaking shit...

Not wisdom perhaps, but good sarcasm is worth its weight in gold.

here's a string of pearls from the Mods---enjoy!!!
 
Mod1:
quote:

We want this board to be something to help the community in terms of promoting safe and responsible behavior, but in most cases this is better served by the writing of more generalized discussions on the various topics related to these ideas.
Mod2:
quote:

This isn't a place to insult the kinks, preferences, lifestyles, etc. of others. If you don't like what another person enjoys, rest assured that there are plenty of others out there that probably don't like your activities either.

Mod3:
quote:

The site was not intended as a money maker, it was created to provide a place for others to meet and explore.
Call it a labor of love.


Mod4:
quote:

No one expects people to agree, or even always be adult in their behavior on the board. But, if they are asked to stop, it is expected that they will show enough maturity in their manner to take their personal squabbles to private emails or postings.

Nothing is static, nor is anything exactly how I want it to be - especially when it involves other people - but when I have had enough of whatever it is I've had enough of, or my time restraints demand I move on (more often the case) then it's nobody's business but mine IMO.
 
Mod6:
quote:

I am more interested in peace than justice here, and in the interests of peace, please try to stick to discussions about what you do, and away from less than flattering descriptions of what others do.
 
Mod7:
quote:

We won't pull a thread simply on the basis that it is moronic, even though it is so very often tempting to do.
Mod8:
quote:

I would also like to point out that when you respond to any post in an insulting manner, you have automatically indicated that the person you are responding to has credibility, since you have to defend yourself.

Mod10:
quote:

Freedom of expression and personal opinion is a positive input.
Mod11:
quote:

Personally, I would rather have a root canal and a colonoscopy at the same time than spend a minute in a chat room.
Mod12:
quote:

Please keep the name calling and baiting to under-your-breath-mutterings or even top-of-your-lungs screams, that don't reach your fingertips.

Even if I don't agree with their self-identified label, I use it out of respect - just as I would call someone "Miss" when he's clearly a man wearing a wig, lipstick, and falsies.

You have to figure out what feels right for you, your relationship and your dynamic. When something is contrived, it never feels genuine.

I'm sorry, but isn't the phrase 'stupid HNG' kinda redundant? or is it just me?
