For the longest time, I have let my Dominant side sit in the backseat instead of right beside me. It's been unfair. My Dominant is part of me. It's who I am. Originally, I wanted to be the Dom who not just did D/s activities with a submissive but was her confidant, her source for safety and her person to help her on her own journey.
I got caught up in the day to day of life and forgot what I wanted from my Dom. I used to teach about the importance of clear communication and trust and being there for the submissive. The result would bring me joy, selfishly. It would fulfill me.
When I come to the Cage I get reminded of those pillars of how to be an exceptional, caring Dom. I ran across a blog post today which reminded me of this and what I strive to be as a Dom. It has ignited my Dom fire bright and glorious to full blaze. I will view it often. It's what I want from being a Dom. It 's how I want to be as a person and to be there for a submissive.
You should really the blogs of others here on the Cage. Not just from subs or Doms but from both. Sometimes you will run across one blog entry that will give you that ah-ha moment and make you feel that inspired again. This is what has happened to me.
