chat i have an A in my psych class rn and itโs awesome because my main objective in that class is to learn the material, not get a good grade
and when the goal is to genuinely learn and retain information, a good grade just comes as a natural consequence
this past summer, i learned about the jungian theory that addiction (of any kind) is just the manifestation of unfulfilled potential and honestly i cannot stop thinking about it
you guys wanna hear how much of a nerd i am?
for my birthday this past year, my one wish was for my friend to buy me this paid lecture series on love/sex/relationships
and i spent that birthday watching lectures and taking notes and it was fucking beautiful
having clear boundaries, limits, and safe words helps your sub enter subspace both faster and deeper.
think of it like thisโ letโs say youโre an acrobat jumping from one trapeze to another. if you have a safety net underneath, youโre better able to concentrate on your jump. because even if you mess up and fall, you know thereโs something there to catch you.
meanwhileโฆ what if there was no safety net? if you fell, youโd hit concrete and die. are you really going to be focused on doing beautiful tricks, or is most of your mental energy spent making sure you survive?
exactly. now apply that to kink. not just during active play, but throughout the whole dynamic.
a lot of men out in the world will purposely do or say anything just to get a reaction out of you. it may feel cathartic in the moment to flip them off or cuss them out, but ultimately you're just giving them what they want--attention. whether it's positive or negative doesn't matter.
unironically, bullying and degrading finsubs has made me a much more emotionally regulated, peaceful, and unbothered person in my vanilla life.
non-paying men no longer get any of my time, attention, or energy. even if they do something disrespectful or annoying or bothersome, it's like... okay. you're not paying. why would i get mad at you FOR FREE?
