Hey just having me in your life is a gift! OK OK on a more serious note...Before I married my ex husband I wrote him a love letter/poem, in which I expressed that I wanted to give him something original and important, which couldn't be duplicated. I was giving him myself - my heart - and asked only that he handle it with care. It was the most meaningful thing I could think of giving him. I didn't consider this a "gift" - it just "was." When it dawned on me he was abusing what I had given to him, I took it back. Now, I don't see my submission as some commodity that can be gifted or traded. My submission is part of the greater whole that is me. Since then, I have given myself unconditionally. I didn't consider this a gift, though, in fact I didn't give much thought to whether or not giving myself to someone would be a gift, and I still don't. Giving myself over is a choice, and in the future it will be conditional. Because of this, I don't see it as a gift. I will take myself back if mistreated. And with me comes my submission, so that isn't a gift, either. Just some random thoughts on the subject...
