for fellow subs struggling to submit right now

something that has helped me a lot is taking a minute to remember this:

it is always our body, and our choice. even in your submission. we CHOOSE to "give ourselves" to our Doms. it is our choice from the start, in the middle and the end.

as a submissive you still have a voice, and you have a say in things that happen to your body. you have the option to wake up say "today, i don't want this and i need to take a step back". you have the right to acknowledge how you are feeling, and the right to speak up about it. you always have the power to respectfully say no. and a good Dom will always respect that answer.

we make a conscious choice to submit to men we feel are worthy of our submission. men that we want to serve, because it's fulfilling for us. because it brings us happiness. because they respect us, they lead us and we desire for them to have the control that they do over us. i know right now it is easy to be in panic mode, to feel anger, to want to step back and that is so, totally ok. i have men in my life right now that i want to punch extremely hard in the face and balls because of how they are acting, but it's helped to remember the man i choose to serve is not one of those people.

it has also helped to focus on the good men present right now, the men fighting FOR and not with women. the men who respect our need to step back if we wish to, the men that understand why we feel upset and angry or let down. being thankful for my Master, and the other men in my life who i know support me & other women. our bodies, our choices and our feelings. so if you woke up today struggling, give yourself grace. see if you can show a little appreciation for the men that have our backs. focus on the good in submission, why you chose to submit and why he is worth serving.

i spent too much time in this rabbit hole over the last few days and i know many women feel similarly right now. if i can help even one submissive by posting this, that would make me feel better. you ALWAYS have a choice. a voice, a say. ALWAYS. and you should never feel invalidated by your partner. and if piece of shit men are showing their true colors right now - drop them and do not look back on it. i stand with and fully support any women in this sub who are going through it.
