Every time I think I know something, somebody comes along to burst my bubble. It's happened throughout my life, and I don't imagine it's going to stop any time soon.. I spend a lot of time thinking. It's something I'm quite good at, and that I enjoy. It seems to deliver. Usually. Sometimes.
I also talk with people. And listen. I listen a lot. (I talk a lot too, but that's another story altogether). So I am lucky enough to collect together lots and lots of stuff that's allowed me to figure things out for myself. Most importantly, to me at least, I thought I'd figured out my truth about D/s. I really did, I thought I'd worked out what it meant to me.
Then someone clever calls me on it, challenges me, and I realise that what I thought was my truth was actually just another version of something that seemed to make some sort of sense under some set of criteria.
But now I really do know something for sure; that I don't know any more than I knew the first day that I finally figured out what all this meant to me; that there really are no certainties beyond death and taxes; that it actually doesn't matter, so long as you know when to keep your mind open (which is always), and your mouth closed (which is at least until your mind is opened).
All this I know for sure. Probably.
Oh I don't know.
My brain hurts.

As D/s can't go very far with only the D or the s, how can you find YOUR truth? It takes two for it to make sense.
You say you listen a lot, and take on board others thoughts on different matters. I imagine this is the only way to learn...but do not then be surprised, when you change your ideal Nothing is set in stone, and for me, the people who I choose to associate with have massive effect on me...I also try to accept this just the way it is.
I say give your head a rest, and go for Sunday lunch star x

Obviously I am still post-teenagehood and a bit 'kid at Xmas' about the whole thing BUT.... I found D/s very difficult to understand until I was actually IN it, because it changes with every relationship. Even then, it's like a process that's constantly evolving and changing around me, and the way I change is affected and affects it, too. We have no specific D/s goalposts, but I think it makes things more exciting that way. la fée verte | |
