The sassy Sparkly Princess was being extra cheeky. That level of cheekiness kept growing and growing until all of a sudden it had reached levels that were ridiculous and unnecessary. Then, she chose to simply just shut down! (because that is obviously the most logical answer, right?! *shakes head* ) Trying to deal with things all on her own, she decided that her feelings weren't valid. Or that perhaps her concerns were simply silly so she needed to find a way to figure them out alone. She wasn't handling things well at all and decided to also stop communicating with the Knight that was knocking at the door. Yes, she needed a backhoe at the rate she kept digging that hole. She thought she was doing everyone a favor handling things this way, but really, she just strengthened her self destruct mission.
"How can I be your Dominant if you are not willing to communicate?!"
*OUCH*
Suddenly the Princess realized the size of the hole she had been digging, reached out her hand, and allowed the Knight to help her out of that hole. Getting out of the hole meant saying what was on her mind. Getting out of the hole meant honesty and transparency. Getting out of that hole reminded the Princess of something she should have remembered about herself- when she is nervous or feeling anxious, she has been known to become a smart ass or super cheeky. Getting out of that hole actually was a huge release, necessary communication, and made their bond tighter than it was before.
*Now, dear readers, you are probably wondering why on Earth I am sharing this with you! Simply put, perhaps by sharing you might think twice before trying to recreate this award winning Drama! (Believe me, the Sparkly Princess has a theatre background and is well versed in being dramatic, both naturally and professionally!)*
After communication opened the doors, and the Sparkly Princess returned to her normally vibrant self, she had the opportunity to watch the sunset. It was just beautiful, and a reminder that the sun rises and sets EVERY day. The world keeps turning, and it sure is easier to breathe when you aren't in shut down mode 😄 Feelings are valid, concerns are important. YOU are important. Fight for the things that make you a better you, and don't fight against the ones who are willingly extending their hand-the one who is choosing to be there! You (and the sparkly Princess) are NOT too much!
