When I say I'm a little, I hate the broad term of it.
My little side is not sexual and it never has been. My little side is an escape from the reality I live.
Taking time to watch cartoons, in pajamas and not have to think about being an adult is what being little to me is. I get small sometimes with how I speak, especially if the day has been harder then most.
Im going to be real for a moment and explain a situation.
I work in the medical field, and this particular day, I had to help with a code blue, it was fine, it happens. But what I didn't know was that it was going to be on a child.
I did my best but the child didnt make it. I was beyond upset.
I came home, and became nonverbal and slipped into a little space that not even my dom at the time could handle. But being in that space, which is such a safe space, got me through that.
Being little is a broad term that means something different to everyone. For some it is sexual and for some its not.
Bringing a sexual nature into my little space would ruin the space for me which is why it stays away.
