“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.” -Marcel Proust

I’m at the point in my submission where the new experiences are few and far between and what I need to do now is see what I have in all of its facets and points of interest. I have a wonderful life that I’ve been living but I haven’t really reflected on it and seen it for what it’s really worth. I get told on countless occasions that I am so lucky to be living 24/7 and that only a fortunate few can really say that they are.

I’m not going to argue the point that you can live 24/7 or not, on whether you have to live with each other or not. These are all windows into someone else’s world. I can see why people say we are 24/7 and I tend to agree. Yes we live together, we have no children (except furbabies) and we can pretty much be ourselves all the time. We never lived as a vanilla couple, so we don’t slip into vanilla-space really. D/s is who we are. I like that.

24/7 isn’t all about frequent play and walking around naked or in collar and cuffs all the time. It’s about feeling true to your role all the time. I don’t ever ask for a break to ‘just be me’ because I AM submissive, that is who I am. I am happy with how my life is structured (and not structured). I like the teasing and pats as I walk by. Our play consists mostly of that sort of interaction. We don’t need to set up play times as often anymore.

Granted we do get the itch and love to scratch it, it’s just not what drives our relationship. Our commitment and love drive us nearer to each other. It’s just that simple.

Meditation Monday is for me to be able to see my relationship through your eyes. I do hope to get questions or thoughts so that I can continue to journey. Please feel free to comment here with questions, or if you want to be more private, use my contact page up at the top and email me. I’d love to know your thoughts and hear your questions.
