Adventures with one's soul

Random thoughts that may or may not flow, but all add up the adventures to one's soul.

I am currently reading a book in which the question has been asked "Do you think there is such a thing as the 'perfect sub'?"

This is a question that made me stop and ask myself. Of course I want to be the perfect sub, I thought to myself, but then I had to look at it in a broader sense. 

There is no way that I could be a 'perfect sub'. There are so many kinks and ones that I am not sure I would ever want to do, so hence I would not be considered that person's perfect sub.

Then the same answer I can up with was written in the book. "I think it is possible to be the perfect sub for one person...Maybe even more than one person. However, it's impossible to be everything to everyone and still be true to yourself."

I think all to often our submissive part wants to please so deeply because it fulfills that deep engrained part of us that we do it at the expense of our true selves, which in turn does the opposite of what we wish to achieve because than we are not our true selves. 

I believe that it's ok to recognize that we don't have to be that 'perfect sub' and that it's ok to only be the perfect sub for ourselves first and then the Dom we fit and that would be a better gift to him.

Anyone else have thoughts on this? I do know that I am still a novice at this, so I admit that I am still learning and still have molding left to be done. That is why I honestly ask the opinion of others.

Just another random thought

boofygurl​(sub female){Taken} - As I was reading this, there is some lyrics from "All of me" that come to mind...

"Love all your curves and all your edges, All your perfect imperfections"

TheLittlePrincess​(sub female){SSG} - I think in a sense there is a such thing as a "perfect sub". But not in the way you may think. I think there is a sub(s) that are perfect for certain Dom(s). I don't think the sub themselves has to be perfect all the time though. Punishment is part of the dynamic. So when a sub messes up a rule or something, then the Dom deals with it in their own way. I don't think this makes the sub flawed though. I think that it's just an expected part of the dynamic and learning process for that relationship. So as long as the sub is happy and their needs are fulfilled and same for the Dom then I think that is what makes the "perfect" sub
