The question is do you live life before you make the discovery of what you are - ie dominant, gay, poly, submissive, gorean, pet, baby, mistress etc(insertlabelhere) before you get on with your life and move forward on it? For me, yes. It has been my finding out what I wasn't that led me in the direction of what or who I am. It was painful emotionally bottoming to a man who was a Top. I found I needed the connection, the relationship, to give emotionally and have my emotions and devotion desired and received. But through that I found out I wasn't a bottom which led me to better understanding my submission. Ironically, it was also my submission that led me to an insight about some dominant tendancies I have in certain situations and how to embrace that as well as my submission. And it has been my personal evolution that has me convinced I cannot be categorized or boxed in really. I wouldn't have come to that revelation if I hadn't been willing to make some mistakes, take some risks, and journey down a path I wasn't really sure I "belonged" on. Should you move on with life, without knowing your path, position or orientation? Movement forward is how I see more clearly what is down my path. Without being subjected to different positions/perspectives/ideas/options/choices where will I see my reflection? Do you believe it is possible to have a sexual or intimate relationship with another person when you do not understand where your life is, or may be going - or should you live your life without expectations and go with the flow? Generally speaking, I think it is easier for people to have sexual relations than it is to have intimate relationships..for some, its nice if they are both in the package. I think it happens all the time, that sex is had or given when the participants don't have a clue who they are, what they want in life or have any expectations of the person they are doing it with. Intimate relationships, not so easy. I think you have to have a certain amt of intimate knowledge and relationship with yourself before you can have/feel intimacy with another person. Does 'searching' achieve anything positive? I was going to write >" If I am not searching how will I see what I am looking for when it comes?" but then I thought again because> there have been some pretty important things come to me when I wasn't even searching or looking for them/her/him/it. So I will amend that and say > maybe not searching, but certainly living life with my eyes open, so I can see all the possibilities, and even what I may not know I was looking for, when it comes my way. My father used the word "strive" alot. He would tell me>Even when you cannot see the target...have a goal. On your way to that goal, your path may change and so might your goal, but if you stop striving, stop trying, stop moving forward, how can you get anywhere?. Cyndi edited to say> I don't know why my font changed so many times and I apologize..I wasn't yelling LOL and I didn't mean to steal yours : )
