Resiliency
Greetings E/everyone!
i wasn’t sure at first what to write about for this blog. This blog pertains to not only Furry Fashion but my journey in the BDSM lifestyle. If Y/you didn’t know what BDSM means, BDSM is an acronym for Bondage, Discipline, Dominance, Submission, Sadochism, Masochism. One of the things that kept sticking out like a sore thumb was resiliency. Lately, i’ve been reading articles on resilience due to a setback i had with insecurity. Before entering the BDSM lifestyle, resiliency wasn’t a part of my vocabulary. What i mean by that, is it wasn’t a concept i was exploring at the time.i didn’t realize how much resilience plays such a big part in O/our lives. Resilience is the ability to navigate difficult situations. It allows U/us to find ways to accept and adapt to those situations. O/our ability to remain silent in the face of adversity allows U/us to further O/our personal growth.
i had my fair share of trauma throughout my life and each time, no matter how long it took, i pushed through it. Sometimes as a submissive, you may encounter setbacks or certain struggles. I encountered one a couple of months back that tested my resilience. i struggled when it came to bouncing back during that time. My struggle was insecurity. I face great difficulty with believing in myself, my reflection of how i see myself in the mirror and comparing myself to O/others to the point where i couldn’t see what i had to offer. I slipped up but ever since then i’ve been working hard on rebuilding my resilience. I’m not saying that i don’t still have these moments here and there, but that’s where my resilience comes in. Resilience doesn’t mean that you will never experience difficulty in life or have moments that are extremely stressful. Being resilient means being able to overcome struggles and not let adversity take Y/you down. It means being able to recover, learn from the struggle and come up with a positive way, to solve it or cope with it.
Being a submissive in the BDSM lifestyle, a lack of resilience can hinder your service to your Owner. It can cause a lack of focus, growth, and can damage the bond between Y/you both. My service to my Dominant is extremely important to me and i don’t ever want anything to hinder my duty of servitude. i love being of service, to Him. Being able to meet His needs, wants, and desires is something i value and take pride in doing. The last thing i’d like to say is there is nothing A/anyone cannot overcome when Y/you are resilient. my mission has been to be consistent with rebuilding my resilience and im steadily doing that. i must say that it feels really good.
