Things I have learned along the way (a running list)

As a Dom who is new to the lifestyle and finally having the opportunity to live it after decades of suppressing, repressing, sublimating and denying that this is who I am, I thought it would be fun to reduce the complexities of human emotions, on going dramas, and life lessons to pithy phrases that can help me remember significant moments in my journey. Each one refers to something special or significant in my life. What those events were is left, as they say, as an exercise for the reader. Hope you enjoy.

  • If it feels wrong, it probably is.

  • I can trust myself.

  • You are not broken. If you are, I cannot fix you.

  • The bunny in the straitjacket is wrong, psycho is not cute.

  • Answering the question "What do you want?" is harder than it seems.

  • Understanding what the question "What do you want?" means is the first step to answering it.

  • It is OK to just be who I am.

  • Frank Herbert was right, Fear is the mind killer.

  • Using the mantra "What would Hunter S Thompson do?" as a guide to personal decision making sounds more fun that it actually is.

  • 90% of life is just showing up.

  • I want the other 10% to involve women and a lot of rope.

  • Not everyone will like me and I will not like everyone I meet.

  • Being dominant is who I am, not what I do.

  • Yes, people really do want me to hurt them.
