Being true to ourselves as submissives does not mean that we display acts of disrespect or portray a picture of immaturity that would embarress a prospective Dominant, but to bring ourselves under control when we have no Master/Mistress to guide us through our tough times through our times of emotional uncertainty.
 submission is not a persona for me ..submission is within me ,,,being submissive "feels" right inside my heart without disapointment or regret without feeling the need for revenge when i am angry or saddend. i am happy the happiest i think a woman can be with her submission.  Making my Master feel proud that He has chosen me to be with Him is important to me as it should be to all submissives when they are Owned. 

The behavior that we show weather in our Dominant's physical presence or not, shows others that our Masters/Mistresses love, patience and guidence have helped to create who we are *smiles softly*
Like a shining star against a black sky we glow inside and out, our admiration and respect eminates through our obedience our intelligence in how we carry a conversation or our ability to learn from our Dominant's and others, how we present ourselves in public as well as in private should always make them and ourselves proud of who we are.
 Never let anybody tell you sister subbies that being a submissive is being a door mat or that our submission is some sign of extreme weakness, on the contrary a true submissive is one of THE strongest people that Y/you will ever have the oppertunity to meet. 
Always be Strong within your mind and band together with other submissives that are true to the lifestyle. If you are new to this lifestyle please do not allow yourself to believe that being treated cruely through emotional abuse or being abused physically is part of this lifestyle, Always make your limits clear so that there is no mistake of what you are capable of  or are not willing to do. Dominant's cannot read our minds we have a mouth that is to be used for communicating as well as for pleasure *smiles* so use it. Be safe be sane and above all be true to yourselves sister subbies! muahhh!
