Dom in Shining White ... Leather? - p2

What may be even more overlooked, is a
submissive in a vulnerable state being taken
advantage of by a 'friend' who thinks he's doing
what is best for her, when he's really just
sa sfying what he needs or wants. What's
worse is when he throws away another
vulnerable soul in order to acquire the first one
... the one he always thought was stolen from
him (but never was in reality) ... that one more
trophy to add to his shelf. Whether or not he
realizes he's done it, he's just become nearly as
bad as that con ar st men oned earlier.
'Friends' like these may even go so far as to tell
you things about a good person with whom
you're building a life with, things meant to
make you doubt, worry and abandon that path.
This is so dangerous because once it happens,
it becomes harder for true friends to actually
get through to a person, when they really are
trying to protect, when the informa on and
danger are real.
You see, there are many forms of predators,
from the knowing to the unwi ng, from the
deliberate to the desperate. But the one thing
they all have in common is ... the vulnerabili es
of the target person.
I learned a long me ago, the best way to
protect yourself, is through your own ac ons
and your own mind. Likewise, the best way to
stop a predator before he can do harm is
through yourself! Your knowledge, your belief
in yourself and your determina on to be a
whole person and understand that submission
as sub or slave, does not mean the hollowing
out of yourself to be naught but a serving girl
who has a lot of sex, but through your own
mental and emo onal growth. If you are not
whole, then you can be no good to anyone else
least of all the right man or woman regardless
of D/s or “vanilla” rela onship status.

Your knowledge, your empowerment, your
wisdom, your crea vity, your individualism and
your power – these are what make anyone
valuable and desirable! If you have these
things, predators cannot take advantage of
you, they will actually run from you because
they haven't the power to climb those walls.
And all while you are widening the mote
around the castle, your knight in shining white
armor see's your value, knows how desirable
you are and will work hard to become worthy
of the lowering of the drawbridge and
welcoming of him (or her) into your heart. THIS
Person will realize what a true gi you are and
you will know, THIS is what I deserve for I am
valuable, worthwhile and beau ful!
Do not be afraid to be strong, or even to say the
word "no" ... for a Dom who cannot handle
what so many call a "difficult sub" or "not a true
sub/slave" (terms meant to make you feel
guilty for being safe and secure) ... p ... he is
not the right Dom for you ... likely is no Dom at
all.
Your strength will protect you while a rac ng
the Person who WILL fulfill your life! I promise
and I do so hope with all my heart, that each
and every good person out there finds his or
her true soul mate.
