ORIGINAL: TouchMyFlame
Life has shaped me, the same way it shaped you. I have been bent and straightened, heated, cooled, painted, and on and on..... and what is left is incomplete.
i don't agree with this statement. life has not shaped me. my experiences have contributed to my makeup. some occurred before i had an active voice in what was best for me, but when that changed and i became consciously aware of decision making and had some authority to do such, i bore responsibility for what occurred going forward. i consider myself a work in progress and don't see the canvas as incomplete, but more akin to something that is constantly being altered and refined.
quote:
You Dom's, the ones fortunate enough to have your One, how empty would your existence be without the one who is what you can never be?
this concept only works in films. i would hope my Owner would consider Himself fortunate whether partnered or alone. the individual is supposed to add to your life, not compensate for what is lacking. to assume that He is empty or somehow devoid because He lacks a mate is both unhealthy and has elements of codependence that i find somewhat unsettling.
quote:
The weakness to your strength, the softness in your rock-solid self.
i disagree. my strength compliments His and when melded together makes our union stronger. i am both soft and hard, and capable of absorbing hardship for Him and the sake of our partnership when necessary. we both lean on the other, it isn't one sided.
quote:
Your One begs for punishment, begs to be bound, yearns to be hurt and teased and suffered because you cannot be. You are as incapable of being harmed as they are of refusing harm, and as such you are whole.
i don't beg for punishment, but accept that physical pain brings us pleasure and i willingly invite His blows upon my flesh. whether He possessed the desire to experience the same is not important. real harm manifests itself in many guises and needn't be of the physical sort to be valid. i honestly find that mental and emotional harm wield deeper pain than their physical counterpart. i don't believe these elements make us whole. i see it in a different respect and consider Him my Shiva and i His shakti. two divine forces that function separately and create anew when meshed together.
quote:
You both invite the onslaught, one because it cannot hurt and the other because it must hurt.
i see His pain. perhaps it isn't due to lashes or the things that i experience as His slave. but His ache is just as real as my own because He carries the burden of two. my need to suffer is made real because He needs to hurt me as well. without both pieces present the desire would go unmet.
quote:
I am who life made me, as you are who life made you.
slavery is my zen and the elixir that brings me joy. in His hands i become manifest and reveal all that remained unseen. He crafts and reshapes until what is needless no longer exists. we change and refine individually and as one. He takes pride in His work and the slave He has come to own. i am His legacy and He is my Elysium.
