The following quote from Celeste is a post that has helped me the most recently:
quote:
ORIGINAL: BitaTruble
I think it's important to understand about choices and options. I know I've heard a hundred times if I've heard it once, ... you always have the choice to leave.
When I examine that in depth, I find that it's not the choice that's even the issue, it's the consequence of the choice that matters. To leave means I am stripped of my own truth, my core, the essence of who I am. To leave is a lie and a betrayal of trust to my word, my being and my soul. To be other than myself is to wear a mask and fake my life. Depending on your perspective life is either too damn long or too damn short to fake it. Can I physically walk out the door, get in a cab and go somewhere else? No, I cannot. The shell of my body can, certainly, but that shell leaves behind everything that's important, everything that really matters, that does make me unique and the body walking out that door is someone else entirely. It's not me. Not now, not today, not in this moment.

Another post that stands out in my mind is from LadiesBladewing in the poly section when she talked about the how we are conditioned to looking at love as a scarce commodity. I think I will have to go back and look that thread up again.
*edited to add... here is the link for that thread: http://www.collarchat.com/m_203196/mpage_3/key_/tm.htm#218301
