As part of my travels I often encounter people in various areas of kink (I’m curious and chatty, what can I say) and end up in enlightening situations from these conversations.
I asked a man, that had hidden his desires from his partner for over two decades, what he wanted from his life now that he had worked up great courage to tell her.
“In an ideal world...”
I stopped him, apologising of course for interrupting in my usual way, “...But what about this world?”
I hate to burst bubbles, but as you may already recognise, life is often far from ideal. Perhaps never so, depending on your outlook. Still, I don’t see that as a pessimistic fact, the opposite in fact. The struggle of all of us to continue to seek happiness and truth in the face of a world that often does not want this to happen, or so it would seem, I find breathtakingly beautiful.
I have a saying, overdone as per usual, but one I keep for these situations. If I have stolen it then I am ignorant of this and I apologise profusely ...
To seek perfection, whilst understanding that it’s not possible, is more beautiful than the perfection you search for.
Like Odysseus, some of our journeys may take a long time to conclude. Perhaps they may never. However, the story is in that journey, not solely limited to the end...
