Over the last few months I had to completely revamp my life. I felt as though my heart had been ripped from my chest and my guts poured out on a table for me to view. It was hard to look at, at first.
After carefully dissecting everything (blood, guts, sweat and tears) very closely and not liking a lot of what I saw, I realized last night that I have major work to do on me.
Redirecting and picking up the pieces of my life while battling depression is damned near impossible. At least for this submissive woman it is. Finally, last night, after all my months of agony, I had an epiphany! Let me tell you, it was just in the nick of time to! lol But isn’t this always how it goes? What doesn’t kill you, right?
What I did find was that I am not ready for a serious relationship right now. I know that I am not at a place in my heart and mind where I can provide to another person what they deserve. I am not here to hurt anyone. Because of this, I must be honest with myself about what my desires are. This is what I found out:
I am ready for friendship. I am ready to do the best thing for me and to look to the future, not for love (right now) but for comfort and stability found in myself. These two factors have ruled my life from a very young age – probably because I’ve never had those things as a child. I am the type of woman that needs these things in order to keep my head above air when floodwaters rise. (I have not had this luxury of late and it is killing me.)
Somewhere during the course of my last two relationships (especially in the last relationship - 3 years) I lost myself and my ability to care for me and to remember that I was important to. I forgot to provide to me what I need, hoping my Master would do it for me. Until I get these aspects back, I am not available to another.
I very strongly desire love, fiery sex and companionship. But at this point in my life, after devoting my heart to someone else for as long as I have (17years), it is time to take back my heart and use it for myself for a while.
I am open to meeting people and learning as much as I can. If you seek friendship with the possibility for more at a later time then write me. I am taking it slow and steady so I can be the best I can be for me and the person I chose to be with later.
And to you, ex-Master, I appologize for hurting you with my words. They are my feelings and I have to own them. Certian things happened between us that made me feel the way I feel. All of these issues are behind us now as we move forward with seperate lives while stuck in a lease together. LMAO! I never wrote anything to hurt you - I did it to find me in the confusion that was my life in the aftermath of us. Things happen and people move on everyday. I hope the best for you and I hope you find the submissive that has no emotional bonds to you. We all find what we need when we least expect it . . . may we both find the happiness and peace we deserve.
