So I wrote a quick post last night after a number of Mistresses I know and like on Twitter seemed to have been simultaneously been visited by timewasters or just down right rude potential new clients.
My post was just I thought common sense and a footnote to my lengthier piece about visiting a Mistress for the first time which was help and advice I wish I had before I made my first visit.
I got an email from a dear friend I have made on Twitter through my kinky life and someone who I have actually met in real life a few times.
He told me a few home truths regarding how I was conducting myself as a sub to Mistress Lilith.Some I pretty much knew I was doing but it still shocked me to the core when i saw it in writing so I was going to write yet another boring navel gazing post about where after all these years I am going wrong and how I and others could perhaps others would not make the same mistakes that I keep making
I know I basically crave Mistress Lilith’s attention. She is very busy and even though in semi retirement she still does a power of work for her business and I in emailing or sending tweets should not be so selfish and leave her in peace.
She has a life outside the dungeon which I need to realise that she deserves time and space to enjoy I in my effort to get her to like me and try to be one of her favourite subs am only doing the opposite by being needy and clingy two things I noticed she expressly said she didn’t want in new clients when I first read her website 6 years ago.
The thought that I would be a nuisance or bring annoyance to someone I think the world of fills me with deep sadness and pain so this is something I need to change from this day on and something I need to remember the next time I try and crave her attention.
I don’t think Mistress Lilith has time to read my blog (Does anyone?) but if she does I am deeply sorry and will also say this to her in person next time I am lucky to have a session
As a sub I try to do the things that I think we all know are the basics that anyone with respect and manners would do.
1 Book in advance
2 Never cancel
3 Turn up on time
4 Remain polite at all times
5 Try to make the session fun for Mistress
I also try on twitter to retweet on behalf of the dungeon and help all the Mistresses I know with retweets and do detailed reviews for anyone I have sessioned with basically try and help in any way I can.
Anyway that part of my apology over onto the main blog post.
The plans slightly changed when Mistress Lilith posted a picture entitled ’30 habits for happiness’ and I though it ideal to help expand what I was going to write.
This is the picture
All answers with a disclaimer this is what I think I do it would need someone who knows me to say whether or not I live up to the answers I give but as I have a very ow opinion of myself I would think most of these you can say are true.
1 Be Kind YES
I try to be kind in the real world and in and out of sessions
2 Eat Well YES
I’m a vegetarian for over 30 years and Vegan for last 3. I eat healthily and well.And no I’m not going to give anyone a lecture about eating meat actually the opposite is true when people find out I’m Vegan I’m the one who gets the lecture about how Vegans give lectures.
For the record I don’t want to eat an animal.
You do what you want I don’t care it is up to you I don’t think any more or less of you no matter what you choose to do.
3 Exercise NO
Up till last year I was playing semi pro football. Didn’t get contact so far for this season so I have did no exercise for the last 6 weeks
4 Meditate SORT OF
Been trying to but keep falling asleep as too tired when home from work at moment
5 BE HONEST DON’T KNOW
This should be a yes. In my real life I am an honest person apart from not telling my partner I go visit a Mistress something that is too long and complicated to go into here and something my guilt and conscious have to live with.
In my fantasy life I have never ever told Mistress Lilith a lie,There was one occasion I withheld the truth about something from her something which lost me the friendship of a fellow sub I really liked and admired on Twitter which to this day causes me sadness but the next day I told Mistress Lilith what I was withholding from her.
6 Dream big NO
My confidence and hope and ambitions long left so I have no dreams big or otherwise
7 Be Patient DON’T KNOW
This depends. Last night I spent nearly an hour trying to catch a moth to let out the window as I was worried it would fry itself on the lamp. I never lost my temper once and go it done.
However with people who willlfully are rude,selfish and ignorant I have zero patience
8 Judge less YES
.
I don’t think I judge anyone.
With a disclaimer I have zero tolerance for people who are cruel to animals or the current heartless monsters who run the Government for them and their despicable actions I reserve the right to judge them.
For those in the BDSM community who have different kinks to mine some I would never want to see or do in a million years I have no judgement on them as long as all parties are happy and nobody is forced to so something they don;t want to do I would never judge them
9 Smile often NO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’m a miserable looking dour bugger everyone says that about me.It is just my natural expression.
10 Love yourself NO
I try to be a good partner,son and person.I’m kind to my dog and animals.I’m hard working and help those less fortunate than myself. I don;t think I am a bad person.But no I can’t love myself. My twisted brain chemistry won;t let me and in fact sometime I fear I am evil and should be destroyed.
11 Forgive easily YES
Mostly family members have let me down frequently and sometimes even done the dirty on me but I think yes I do forgive easily probably too easily if I’m being honest.
12 Show gratitude YES
I am always making a point of thanking someone who helps or is kind to me.I always thank Mistress Lilith before the session for allowing me to return for the session and afterwards for the session.
13 Think Positively NO
No chance of this I always think the worst,One of my many faults which I can;t change which I guess kinds of backs up my answer.
14 Drink lots of water YES
I drink a lot of water at work as the site I work at is dry dusty and warm even on a colder day plus at night I have a bottle of water at my bed which I drink when I wake up
15 Believe in yourself NO
I have no confidence in myself.With a football at my feet I will take on the world.Off the pitch I am nobody and nothing and have no confidence in anything I do
16 Keep an open mind YES
I have a very open mind
I do not believe in God, JFK assassination theories,Loch Ness Monster,UFO’s or ghosts only things that have creditable evidence.I draw my conclusions from the scientific method and if the evidence changes I will then be happy to believe in any of the above.
When it comes to the BDSM world I am open minded and with MIstress Lilith guiding me am willing to be open minded about trying out new things.
17 Put your needs first NO
Nope.I’m nothing and nobody.Other people are more important than me.
18 Don’t make excuses NO
I’m very guilty of this.Nearly all that happens to me is my fault and I try and make excuses for it happening even though I am the common denominator.opp
This is a huge fault of mine.
19 Speak well of others DON’T KNOW
Hand on heart I don’t think I have ever said anything nasty about anyone I have met in life.But it depends politicians and certain people I see on television I have nothing but contempt for and I have said some pretty harsh things about.
In BDSM I have tried to be polite respectful and helpful to any of the Mistresses I have been lucky enough to session with both in person and online.
20 Listen to understand. YES
I always do this in every walk of life.My education was terrible left school at 15 to get a job to support my family as my dad was ill. I have a thirst for knowledge and always like to speak to intelligent people about subjects I know little about.
I am a good listener and in the BDSM word Mistress Lilith and the other Mistresses I have sessions with have taught me lots as I listen intently to their ever word.
21 Choose faith over fear NO
I don’t have any faith in things working out for the best sorry
22 Make the most of now YES
Being practicing mindfulness for 3 months now. It helps in the real world.
But it really helped in the last 2 sessions with Mistress Lilith I got more out of them and managed to savour every single second I was in her company
23 Exercise self discipline YESish
I’m trying hard to do this. Do without things I don;t need in life
Especially with Mistress Lilith no emailling or texting her unless it is a session I am booking.
24 Look on the bright side NO HAHAHAHHAHA
Light at the end of the tunnel is the front of an oncoming train that is me in an nutshell.
Not proud of it hate it about myself one of the many things that I do.
25 Avoid social comparison YES
To be fair I think I do. If my friends are happy I am pleased for them.If a fellow sub has a session or more regular one than I do then I am pleased for them.I don’t think I have ever been jealous of anyone ever in my life.
26 See failure as an opportunity NO
If this is true I must have had more opportunistic than everyone else put together I fail that much.
27 Don’t take opinions to heart YESish
This amongst all others is the one that hurts the most. For people I do not respect I still take criticism or negative comments to heart
For people I care about and love and respect if they have a negative opinion about me then that destroys me. My recent email from Lars made me cry when I realised what my attempts at trying to be a better sub to Mistress Lilith really did which was make me clingy and crave her attention.
28 Select friends that lift you up. YES
I only have 2 real friends. Both I have known since nursery,We would all run into traffic for each other.Both of them are positive and confident people who bring out the best in me.Problem is I never see them anymore due to work and their family commitments
29 Let go of what can’t be changed NO
This should be easy,In my real world I try to make everyone happy but it is an impossible task and I should let it go but I can;t
In the BDSM world I try to be the best sub I can be but I fear I have did too much wrong and can’t change that or accept it.
Not getting back for sessions enough also dismays me.
30 Have a healthy sleeping pattern NO
Despite being exhausted and a 6.30am start every morning I sleep terribly.
Sorry this is not really a blog post that has much to do with visiting a Mistress or anything else.
But the answer I think to the blog title is NO and could do better
