It’s a sunny holiday morning. I’ve got a cup of hot coffee, my work laid out in front of me and the pup at my feet. It’s a good day to be alive.
Everyone seems to be writing a few reflections on the year gone by, and I couldn’t help but throw out some thoughts on my virtual journal. It’s been a year of ups and downs, turmoil, adventure and most of all – finding myself in a world where I never knew existed.
I’ve met people that have changed my life for better and for worse. I’ve have no regrets with the experiences I’ve encountered, only bittersweet memories and a more personal introspective nature. I’ll always remember this year. It was the year I discovered ‘kink’ had its own community, its own life, its own intricate dynamic. Its mere discovery I can liken to finding a new continent. I ‘came out’ and brought my fantasies to life this year – at Shibaricon ‘09, and looking back at my first post into this blog I can see how far I’ve come. From my love and passion for Shibari/Kinbaku to intense M/s dynamics, to learning to be comfortable with who I am, this year has been a whirlwind of activity.
There are so many that have helped me so far – so many people that I could and need to thank, but I want to thank a particular individual whom I’ve never had the pleasure of having coffee with…face-to-face. From our very first ‘meeting’ at the slave auction house to our adventures on Tesseract, the world I came to know and learn about in SL has exploded into my life thanks to your guidance and encouragement. I can find no words that truly express how thankful I am to have met you and yours. (Perhaps one day soon!) Your ever-present existence, occasionally only as a few words on my screen remind me to reflect on where I’ve come, and how I arrived here. Here’s wishing you a wonderful year ahead, with more to learn, more to discover and more to share as I’m guided by your knowledge and experience. Thank you Sir.
A few of my friends have posted lists, somewhat like New Year Resolutions, but punctuated by their ever-increasing thirst for knowledge. Here’s my list for things to explore in 2010:
- Discover the historical and spiritual significance of how Kinbaku has evolved over the years
- Understand and increase my knowledge of the artistic value of Shibari/Kinbaku
- Try wax & fire play
- Attempt to make my own jute rope
- Pierce both nipples – (preferably during a scene)
- Design part 2 of 3 of my ink
- Start second section of ink – if the design is ready
- Learn the art of boot-blacking
- Try latex, rubber, zentai suits and all things skin-tight.
