The female mind is often a minefield of contradiction -- at least mouse's mind is that way. As she gains new insight into her slavery to Master, she realizes more acutely the way in the past she's failed. Now, to be certain, Master is a forward facing man, who doesn't believe in dwelling on the past. Acknowledge the errors, or shortcomings, but don't recycle them or allow them to prevent action.
Still, a retooling of her female think is needed for mouse to stop the noise in her head, and focus more effectively and clearly on Master. This isn't to mean to shut off her brain to anyone else, or to stifle the empathy she feels for others -- quite the opposite is true. That "what will the neighbors think" hum is in her head where she feels the need to clarify what she means.
Recently there has been this hum, don't write about this or that, it might be taken wrongly or misconstrued or cause long-time readers undue worry or concern. We've contemplated taking the blog private, but decided against that. Perhaps it's hubris on the part of mouse, but she feels many words contained in this blog still hold value.
The unavoidable truth is that Master also wishes and always had wished for mouse to focus on her slavery more -- he truly believes it will help her growth. Being held accountable for her actions did help her to understand better what he expects in. a slave, but now it's time that mouse move beyond the expectations to truly embracing their meaning. This isn't like driving above the speed limit until you see the police on the corner ahead and then you slow down. The rules apply even when no one is watching.
To that end Master is making some subtle changes, the corset is cinched a little tighter, the plug is worn nearly all the time, and mouse isn't allowed much personal freedom. The pearls will be worn from the moment after she showers in the morning until bedtime when he takes them off.

I get it, I love my blog but lately have been avoiding it...worried about what I was going to write. I tell myself it is mine so that worry is silly, but still....hugs abby
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy at times, abby, especially when you've been doing for a long time. You begin to worry more about your readers than your content.
DeleteThere aren't any easy answers either. Wish there were. Thank you for your comment!
Hi mouse,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say I'm so glad you decided not to go private! Your deep thinking about submission is very valuable to my inner work, even though I myself do not aspire to being a slave.
And also, in the year plus that I have been reading here, I have come to care about you and I would really miss you!
Sincerely, Ava
Thank you Ava, such a lovely comment!
DeleteI want to echo the happiness in your decision. I've read your blog for a long time....from the beginning at least twice. I find that when I struggle (which is often) I can find a clue in your writing; sometimes food for thought and sometimes the path I should follow should a bit.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being a mentor.
