ORIGINAL: knees2you What does Submission mean to You? The deferrence of the power I hold over myself to a trusted other. The desire to please someone through actions and thoughts, by allowing them to assume control in a specific way. The choice to transfer one's strength to the goals of another. quote:
How does it make You feel? Free, beautiful, safe, cherished, trusted, esteemed, pleased, and more happy than I have been in a long time. quote:
Why do You do it? Because it is the opportunity to act on an important aspect of who I am as a human being, and it fulfills me to do so. quote:
Do You do it because You feel alone? No- it was not until I could overcome my loneliness that I sought out someone else to be with. The time I spent alone shaped many things that allowed me to become who I am, and gave me the strength to become a submissive to my Dom. It was not an attempt to "cure" the "ailment" of loneliness, it is an expression of who I am and how I feel within the relationship I share with my Dom. quote:
Is it because You need guidence because Your life was going nowhere? My life has gone many places, continues to do so, and no one is responsible for that but me. I had the strength to do what I have done, to be where I have been, and to shape my life into what I have wanted it to be. I am not a weak person who cannot manage their own existence- I am the direct opposite- a strong person who lives life, each moment of it, with passion, by the choice to do so and the ability to follow through- and the pride to not regret it. quote:
Or because It always felt it was Human nature? It is not human nature unless it is universal. I say it's an individual aspect of who I am which is beautiful to me, but it is not something that any person would find validating or pleasing. It is an individual characteristic, but it is not some universal trait we all possess- it's an intrinsic part of me, but perhaps not of you. behindmirrors.
