ORIGINAL: Steelriven Hello everyone, I've been reading the posts on this message board. I have one thing to say. It doesn't matter why you enjoy something, what you enjoy, and how you enjoy it... All that matters is that it's a part of you. It's who you are. My submission is not a gift, it's an equal share. I'm not a fragile, self distructive being. I know what I want, why doesn't matter. Just because you're strong, or have something to say, or disagree, or show any kind of resistance doesn't mean you're not submissive. It means you're human. Submission is beautifull, I hear this alot. But what they should add to it is this... Submission is beautifull because it is a part of you. Kim who's just a Lil_twisted When I first started down the road of conscious submission I put up all sorts of resistance because I knew on a deep level what it meant to submit to another. I was very afraid of what it meant to embrace this part of my nature... now I do not have much trouble anymore with resistance, and it shows itself in much more subtle ways than it did when I was new to WIITWD. For example recently I was asking my Dom if he was going to take control over a certain aspect of my life (which I will not disclose what it is) because I wanted him to take this control. He was the one that had brought it up as a possible step to take as we grew closer, so this makes me desire to submit this control to him.. it would be a daily reminder that I have surrendered just a little more to him. When I brought this up to him I started asking him if I would have to do this task wherever he called me, even work, and he said I would have to trust him not to abuse this control and sounded very annoyed with me. After we finshed talking I realized I was resisting his dominance at the same time I was asking for it and this was probably the root of his annoyance. Resistance can take many forms I am beginning to realize, and we can do it without being conscious of it. I wish I hadn't resisted when we discussed this, but sooner or later the subject will come up again, or one like it, and I will not be resistant next time[:D]
