As a submissive you have two primary sources of power.
First, no dynamic can occur without your active participation. You have the power to choose who you submit to.
Two, you have the power to push yourself past momentary fluctuating feelings to support and grow your dynamic.
Probably the most heartbreaking thing I've noticed about submissives is how the world is so unsafe for those of you who tend towards serving, obeying, and pleasing others, that you have had to learn to protect yourself even from those dominants who you crave serving.
In my opinion, the key to any successful dynamic is to constantly reinforce the positive aspects of your relationship with constant bursts of verbal gratitude, not only for the role you play in each other's lives, but for the fulfilling, satisfying life you are building together.
@MasterBly LOL i said exactly the same thing to some people i used to know. Sadly there can be a heartbreaking breakup without a relationship. Nothing is worse than loving an emotionally unavailable person who you have to detach from who never had an attachment to you.
