I'm sorting through all the questions going on in my head about the difference between being a submissive and being a slave.  Does one necessarily need to go with the other? 

Torn between the desire to be one and not wanting to give up my own freewill, it's difficult.  But I also know I'm not the only one who's pondering this as well.

At times like this, it is comforting to have friends who understand and are willing to listen and offer council.
