Insecurity

Argh!  i hate it when my insecurities get the better of me.  i'm fairly well-balanced most of the time but every now and then the little voices in my head start telling me that my world is filled with crap.  This time the voices were telling me that Daddy was getting nothing out of the BDSM portion of O/our relationship and that it was time for me to just take off the gear and put it away for good.  i spent about 24 hours silently analyzing every word Daddy said, every look He gave me, and every action He did or did not take.  Finally i brought the issue up to Daddy fully expecting a major drama.  You can imagine my surprise when Daddy looks at me like i was drunk, high, and possibly insane.  He took on the calm soothing tone of voice usually reserved for small children and let me know everything was OK.  We spent the next couple of hours just talking and working through various miscommunications and misperceptions.  And now all the little voices have gone silent again 

So, the moral of this post is that communication is the most important skill you can bring to a relationship.  The second most important skill is the abilty to calmly talk your partner down from the ledge when he goes just a little bit insane
