Memories (S)

As dymion and I our quickly approaching our one-year anniversary together, I find myself quite nostalgic as of late. Smells, sounds, tastes...everything seems to be richer, more exciting, more perfect than ever before. So many things in my daily life bring on reminiscent waves of that delicious rush I felt when I first encountered my beautiful prince. Everything is etched so clearly in my mind...snapshots of the moments that have brought us to where we are today. My mind is so in love and so grateful for the present, but often I enjoy reexamining the past...where we began...what connected us from the start.

In that spirit, I turn to a memory that holds a place deep in my heart...dymion and I started our communication in the form of sending one another daily emails of inspirational quotes. I think it was a way of trying to express the feelings that were growing within us that we lacked the initial courage to express directly. This started our journey into discovery of what types of sentiments touched us, inspired us, and often defined us. Though we talked of philosophy, love, and the occasional subtle hints of lust and sexuality, we never directly touched upon what we truly wanted to say so, od course, the bdsm lifestyle was never within our exchanges.

As we reach that one-year milestone, I wanted to share some awesome bdsm quotes. I share these thoughts in honor of the life dymion -my precious pet- and I are building together. It is a relationship based on raw emotion, honesty, and an appreciation for a lifestyle that has taken us both on the most amazing adventure...enjoy!
