Vulnerability ... There is nothing easy about surrendering yourself to another person. Anyone tells you otherwise, tries to convince you that submission is a weakness, doesn’t understand the nature of strength. If being a submissive was a switch I could flick on and off, I’m not sure that I would turn it on most days. Making yourself vulnerable is a terrifying thing. As humans, we spend our lives building walls to keep hurt. We construct mechanisms to defend us against vulnerability, hoping to protect our hearts. But, as FDR famously said, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.” To be submissive is to invite someone behind those walls. To cast off your armor, lay down your weapons, and crawl into the arms of another person, trusting that they will not betray you. To submit is to choose each day not to recoil, to not construct new walls, or draw your weapons. It doesn’t mean that we aren’t scared. It doesn’t mean that some days it won’t be the hardest thing we do. But it does mean that each day we choose submission over fear, not because we are weak, but because we are strong. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.” |

This is so on point... I love it. It is hard to let someone in. To be vulnerable.

try not to stay behind those walls too long...life is short and nobody comes back for a second ride. Life is about taking chances. When I'm old im not going to sitting in a rocking chair thinking about things I should have done but didn't. Everyone has regrets, but none of mine are because of fear.

I vividly remember the first time I put the collar on, waited for his arrival, and then handed him the leash. I had never experienced anything quite like that before and it was a feeling I'll never forget. Later, I realized that I had just scratched the surface and while what we did was emotionally powerful, it was actually just a bit past role-playing. I cannot imagine what it would feel like to be strong enough to truly surrender all of my being to another at that level, but it will always be one of my deepest desires and wishes.

If you want someone's vulnerability, you must understand the responsibility of accountability. And you must be willing to give them yours.

"I must admit, this piece is one of my favorites." "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”
