ORIGINAL: Estring Well, the ones that crack me up are the challengers." Are you man enough or Dom enough to tame me"? Sorry, but life is too short to waste time on these type of subs. The above is YOUR perrogative, and i respect it. However, i would like to make an honest attempt to share just mine, and please understand that i may use a bit too many words, for it is hard to put my deeper senses and feelings into the words that will be just right. For me, anything worth anything in life is worth fighting for, working for, and pursuing. i have found that when things are handed to me, or come just too darned easy, and i don't have to work for any of it, or put any time in, i get bored or restless, for i need to be engaged, challenged, taken to the edge. This is just me. i need to have that dance, courtship and have the strength of my will, intellect and resolve put to the test. i don't surrender easy, i don't trust easy, i don't believe in mere words easily. i look for action behind the words. When i give my all, i take that seriously, and i don't care about how short life is in this area. i will not let myself fall into the hands of one that doesn't wish to accept ALL of the person i am. i am very protective of my vulnerable lil girl inside. It is the journey, rather than the end result that i thrive upon, and in which i build a solid connection. That is just the person i am and i know it, and do not try to hide it. i am real and true to myself, and that means keeping it real with others. i respect others who take the time to do the same for me. If that means i don't *fit* in nicely with the general consensus, than so be it. i am one who uses this line in the very beginnings, at the friendship stages. i express myself this way for many reasons. First one is, to weed out those who will not understand the deeper meaning and depth contained in, and that is behind the words of that one statement. For if they can't understand or won't bother themselves to understand, or show no further interest, i know we will not be compatible. i have learned that non-compatibility as people first, even though the M/s area may be great, will kill my spirit inside, and kill a relationship. i need the rest of me to be acknowledged, nurtured, accepted, desired, and understood. i need someone who is engaging, inspiring and challenges me to step up, and hopefully as we do the dance, the same will be true of me, for the good of the other person involved. i need to be accepted as a whole person in my entirety and not just in the M/s part, for to neglect the other parts of me would be emotional abuse in the form of neglect. i have been there done that, and have learned my lessons very well. i wll no longer dumb myself down, or make myself appear weaker, when another finds that part of me intimidating. i need someone who wishes to Master ALL of me, and not just in the M/s dynamic. i know myself extrememely well. i have taken the time to figure out what i need to thrive in a relationship. i put a lot of work into this, to make it EASIER for both myself and others, to decide if i am a person they wish or are interested in making a connection with. i don't have any surprises, i am upfront. There are depths of feelings, desires and emotions behind that simple statement. A person will either "get it" with all the underlying reasonings, understandings, and draw understanding from their own life experience, or they will not. For me, it is about finding another who is on the same page. Those who don't get it, or share negative thought toward the real and deeper meaning, or who totally misunderstand me from the get go, are those i respectfully decline, for i know i will not be accepted by those folks, the way i need in order to completely surrender, which is my ultimate desire. So when i use that one-liner, this is what it means for me. It is all about surrender, and fulfilling that ultimate desire. Surrender to me, means that i am no longer in ownership of the control i once possessed. For i cannot surrender up something that i have never owned in the first place. But i am very protective of what i own, so to surrender means that i have been conquered. That person is now in possession, and has shown me that i can trust them, for they have taken the time and made the effort to show me that i can be safe with them, for they really do want all of me, or they wouldn't have bothered themselves. That is something i greatly respect and admire in another. i am the same way, i will put in the time it takes if i feel that the other person is really whati desire. i have not met anyone yet, who puts time and energy into anything they do not wish to eventually own or highly benefit from, or fully enjoy the reward. i value myself, and if that is unappealing to others, than i make no apologies, for i believe that we should all highly value ourselves. So, in order for me to feel safe to fully surrender, it is because it is the only thing left for me to do, i am left with no other alternative BUT to surrender. Once i surrender, it is with my everything, or not at all, i can't do half assed. So i take this very seriously. i have learned i am responsible for my own happiness first, before anyone else. Now this is just about finding the right person for me to become serious with. When i am just making friends or other relationships, i simply connect and enjoy with their matching energies and its all good, but i still share this part of myself so they know upfront about who i am, and how my mind works. i currently serve and love a Master part time in an LDR. He has another living with him that is 24/7, but he still is pursuing me, because we greatly enjoy a strong intellectual bond. He has asked me to stay connected to him. He knows i am not fully attracted to him in the physical sense, and i have to be attracted in all areas in order to fully surrender. i have always been respectfully and gently honest with him, and yet he makes the descision to keep what we have together, with full knowledge that it may never happen with me inthe way he wishes. And because of this acceptance i have with him, i will never do anything to hurt or dishonor him. He has even told me that if i find another who i feel has the means to take my control from me, and bring me to full surrender, simply to ask him permission, and he wishes to still remain connected. He has my utmost loyalty and respect as both a Master and a person. It is such a wonderful thing to be fully understood and accepted by another without having to be asked to change the person i am. Which is not the same as changing habits and certain behaviors.. i just felt to share this here, for i have many who judge and criticize me for my honesty and for the person i am. i don't do that to others, i respect the diversity. There are many reasons and life experiences that brought me to my current state of mind, feelings and thinking. The one who wishes to know more will take the time, simple as that. The doors of respect always swing both ways. i always give others time and my best undertanding when getting to know them, whether it is for friendship or something more. Words are the least understood forms of communication. In fact i have learned and observed, that only about 7% of our communication is through words, the rest is more phsyically and energetically subtle. Thank you to those of you who have taken the time to read this, and a greater thank you to those who have taken thte time to understand it. *smile ~raiken
