True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.” -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For todays advent calendar we are to make a list of all of the accomplishments we have done this year. Either big or small. Should be things that we have done and make us happy. So buckle up, let me see what I have done this year.
- Moved a 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment into a new house in three days. Packed, moved, and unpacked in that time. - So happy to get it done, downsized, and shifted in that time. I was happy to help coordinate everything and keep everyone on task. My Masters and the team of people we had were amazing and I was glad to organize it all.
- Leveled up in Pokemon Go. - Silly I know, but it takes FOREVER to gain the amount of exp I need to level up now since I am so high of a level. I did a happy dance when this happened.
- Made it finally to the medal on my blog over over ten thousand views on a single post. That was AMAZING!!!
- Made a good bunch of new friends. Which makes me even more happy because I feel connected to this world again.
- Started to open up more and get out of my comfort zone by talking in groups, and to random people. I am anti social even though I am an ENTJ. So I am happy to try to get more out of my shell and put myself out there.
- Created a nice community in the BDSM world on Discord. I am so eager and happy everyday to log in and spend time with these amazing people.
- Finished mentoring a submissive this year. It was a good accomplishment. I feel confident that they have the necessary tools to make a safe and educated decision moving forward as a submissive and finding their perfect Dominant. I am happy to see them grow as a person and blossom.
- Learned to set healthy boundaries - This makes me happy because it is something needed for my mental health and well being.
- Ordered my first braille workbook. I am happy to get it so I can start working on it. It means I am one step closer to accepting fully my disability.
- Won some art competitions this year. This made me really happy. Gives me more motivation to keep moving forward with my art.
- Obtained some commissions from some people for my artwork to be created for logos, and such for business cards and T-shirts. I am elated because that means someone out there LOVES my designs and my style of art and want to have it on as their merch and such.
- The best one this year is learning to control my anger and temper better. This has made me so happy because I do not want to be that person. Being able to come to the table of a disagreement or with my upset feelings and not scream and yell has been liberating for me. So for this I am extremely proud of myself.
- This month on the 16th will be @Damon-Koch and my 9 Year anniversary of him being my Master/Daddy and my partner. He has been the most stable, mature, and long lasting relationship I have ever had. I am so in love with him, and so grateful that we are together. Despite all our trials as a couple. We are going strong. We will iron out all issues we ever encounter and come out stronger on the other side. I am so grateful that we get to share this milestone.
On top of all of these things that might seem menial to other people I have also helped my Masters redefine our TPE dynamic. I have put good faith into them, and I have put a good foot forward to give up the control. It is NOT easy. I still have moments where they have to reassure me. I am working on it to put a deeper meaning into my submission, and into our relationship. Nine years with Damon, and Three years with Calvin included. I am so happy to continue on this journey and see where it takes us.
