Growing up, I was praised for my ability to be content. No matter the situation, I could cobble together whatever I was offered and create happiness for myself. I asked for little, was grateful for what I had, and just allowed those who cared for me to guide me step by step.

As I grew up, I found my skill for creating happiness could be used for more than just myself. I had a nack for making people feel seen, heard, and felt. That ability gained me lifelong friends, lost but cherished loves, and a deep level of empathy that was as much a benefit as it was a detriment. The universe seemed to serve as my new authority, and opened so many doors and paths to make myself useful to the greater good.

But now...I feel the universe has loosed it's grip on me. The feeling at first made me feel untethered, but I am choosing to see it as a open invitation to no longer follow a future I felt destined for. Instead of letting the uncertainty conume me...I will dive into it with a bit of reckless abandon.

As much as I wish my nature could make me the stoic adventurer, the truth is memories mean more to me when I can share them with a partner. When I travel back to the mountains of West Virgina, try and chase the northern lights, or find the series I never started on Netflix that I should have watched sooner, I want to assocaiate that with someone beside me.

While friends could fill this void, I know I want something deeper. I want to explore more than just the world or the latest binge watch. So this partner needs to have some special qualties...

• I need a partner who knows her submission is natural. Someone who knows comfort in giving in and sometimes giving up. Her submission doesn't need to look like she's there to always say yes, but can find comfort in the times when she doesn't want to choose either way.
• I need a partner who appreciates beauty, espcially in the small things. Someone who will want to stand in the art museum as much as sitting by the waterside watching the waves. That beauty could be reflected in herself as well, in how she dresses and the time she spends making herself feel the best version of herself.
• I need a partner who refines her mentality as much as her physicality. Road trips can be long, and while silence is not uncomfortable for me, a curious mind can help pass the time.
• I need a partner that can communicate her needs, from adjustments to schedules to safe words for more intimate times. While being submissive helps you fit into my energy, it's having the strength to speak up that allows me to go deeper and farther with you.

And what do you get in signing up for this party. You get a man who knows he's not perfect, but is working hard to be. Someone who was raised to be a man, but written by many amazing women in my life. Someone who knows how to value his partner, and knows to show it through investment in both material and emotional ways. You get a companion that knows he most likely won't be in your life every moment, and can give you the space you need until you feel the need to return. Someone who, with enough time to prove it, can be who you trust with your real secret self.

I know this sounds a bit vague...I haven't exactly put this offer out there before, so I'm trying to capture some new feelings. Yes, I am a Dom, and I'm looking for someone to be my opposite, but I lay no claim to you full time. I don't expect to be the only person in your heart, but I hope to make it warm when you think of me. I want this relationship to be physical, but I'm not looking to rush into that phase until we truly know that's what we want.

So I guess the question is...does this sound like your kind of adventure?
