Take Out Wisdom

Sir and I met for dinner tonight, and got some Chinese Take out. We brought it back to his house to eat in his backyard, which was lovely. There were cardinals flying around so I was even more pleased. I enjoy the outdoors and his company. I am determined to get him outside more often.

At the end of our meal, we each choose a fortune for the other. The fortune he chose for me turned out to be very apropos. It read as follows:

A leader is a person you will follow to a place you wouldn't go by yourself.

How fitting for our D/s life. I count on Sir to be my leader in as many ways as possible. And yet, without him, I'd make no progress.

Being a submissive, how far can you go without a Dominant? You can try to behave in a submissive fashion. You can do things for others. You can anticipate one's needs. Yet I believe that without a  Dominant to be your guide, there's only so far you can take yourself. I prefer to submit to one person. If he did not exist in my life, I wouldn't wish to lead myself. I wish to go with him, together.

To submit, you give yourself over to another. And without that person, to who or what are you actually submitting?
