Inspiration is a lovely word :)
Hello StreetBob, :)
I understand your desire for stories of inspiration. Every day I feel like I'm living that life in all honesty. I just feel so very blessed. I used to fantasize about being in a relationship where I could offer my submission fully, trusting that much that I could release what I came to realize was inside of me. Trusting...... this was a key that opened a door for me.
As far as us....
I feel so very blessed by what I get to share with the most amazing person I have ever known in this short life. Honestly, I feel the reason we can experience this so fully, so magically......has everything to do with the strong friendship we have built. I've seen many others make connections where they jump right into the world of BDSM without getting to know someone first.....they yearn so much to submit and to feel the adrenaline rush that they put themselves in places where hearts are sometimes broken...this makes me sad. (now I am not judging others' experiences, for those that want the meaningless erotic night of pleasure....hats off to them. I see the draw. But there are many submissive beings out there who are sad and broken b/c of hurtful experiences. Out of respect for them and knowing who I am, I share my experience with you only :) )
My wish for you and your girlfriend would be..... continue to build on the trust and respect you have for one another...work at that everyday, take it slow, communicate endlessly, and love eachother. Did I mention communicate endlessly? lol.
One thing we have done that I LOVEEEEEE is ...we have nights where we meet at the Marriott (thank goodness for rewards points!). He will arrive before I do. He will set things up as he pleases. I will know all day that we will be meeting there, (whew is it hard to concentrate on work!) but I will have no idea what is going to happen. I will call him on my way and he will give me a set of instructions for the night. I arrive at the door and know that once I enter, my full submission is required. The first night this ever happened was one of the most amazing nights of my life. He had many toys placed on a table and I spent most of the night kneeling on the arms of a chair......mmmmmmmm....my collar was there placed on a table...waiting for me.
Now we have integrated D/s into our life more fully, but it took us a long time to get where we are. There are articles of jewelry that I wear and never take off and we both know that they are equivilent to a collar. As we have children, we are not able to share it 24/7, but when we are alone, or i am alone in the house, I am submissive all the time. It's a long road still.....but it is well worth it. Thanks for letting me share with you. I hope my words inspire you in some way. Take care and all my best to you and your girlfriend.
