I was thinking a bit about how my D/s views have changed since I started blogging back in 2010. One of the biggest changes I can trace back to 2016, when Lady Grey recommended that I write in a more personal voice. Before that, the majority of my writing had been of a more detached nature: educational, informative, conceptual, comparative, etc.
I kept a lot of feelings bottled up as I hadn't really healed up from a lot of the pain of losing K until I wrote my Reflections sets of posts and faced a lot of my trauma and sadness head on. You might say that was the first time I really had the courage to expose myself openly on my blog. Since then, I have had very little trouble sharing openly and I have to say that it significantly changed the tone of my posts.
I no longer sound like I'm trying to sell something.
Another factor is that when writing from a more personalized viewpoint is that it's easier for me to call myself out on my own bullshit. Many of my views have shifted to be more practical and real in that way, with less posturing, less idealism, etc.
One of the scary things is that my personal desires and ideals keep on evolving.
It's interesting how they have evolved beyond what I would recommend for others. I may talk about that more today.
