What is submission, really? It’s an odd question. Many think they know. And most of them are right. They are right because even though their opinions may differ, they are still all correct. If you think about it, submission is one of the few things in D/s that is not so much bound by tradition and protocol. It is defined completely by the submissives themselves. There are plenty of definitions of “What is a Dominant,” or “Qualities of a Dominant,” but very few of what it means to be a submissive. And that’s just it. There is no one way. One could say that the core of what it means to be a submissive is the desire to serve her Owner. And that’s definitely true. But to what degree is what remains undefined. Does it means falling to His feet? Does it mean allowing Him to dictate your every step? Does it mean sleeping in a cage beside the bed? Yes. All of those things. And at once none of them. Recently my kitten has done very few of these things, and yet I feel her submission all the same. Ultimately it comes down to one thing: what it feels like. Despite my kitten not having been on her knees in weeks, despite out time apart, despite any outward display of subservience or ownership on either of our parts, we still feel the D/s dynamic underneath. It has become the one constant in our life. She belongs to me. It’s just a given. No matter what’s going on in our life, no matter how we act outwardly towards each other in the moment-to-moment of our day, we know it’s there. And that’s what submission is about. The knowledge that, no matter what, she is owned. Completely. That not matter what life throws at us, if worse comes to worst, she can always curl up at my feet like a good little kitten and be safe. Be where she belongs. Be mine. -- source link
