There is a lot going on and I really don’t know where to begin things. Only to just type type type . In the end it may all be scattered, but then again, so am I.
I’m on the brink of a melt down, as far as work is concerned. You may recall there had been some shit that went down, leaving me sour to even be here. Time has done a wonderful job at slowly making the wounds hurt less. However, I have an every day reminder here that will never let me forget. I have felt myself slowly stretching thin and yesterday I felt as though I was cracking. Even Molly was out of it. (sidenote: it’s amazing how one’s mood can greatly affect their dog’s) It’s become apparent that I need to take a long vacation. I haven’t done that since last xmas. Sure I’ve taken a 4 day weekend and have gotten away from work for more than a week on a conference, but not a real vacation. What I plan to do? Nothing. Yup, nothing. I just want to sleep in and stay home. Live out my dream of being a “stay-at-home sub.” Only 17 more days and counting.

I hate my body … hate it. Yes, Sylvanus is a wonderful man, who loves, desires and adores every flaw and curve I have. Yet somehow that isn’t enough for me. I have to adore the person staring back at me in the mirror just as much as he does. One of these days, my disgust for what I see in the mirror will outweigh my love of certain indulgences.
-
At 30 I have a hard time seeing myself as a woman. Yeah, I know that’s ridiculous. I see what you see in those HNTs.. the curves, the “womanly” body parts… and yet I don’t feel very womanly. I’m a short girl at 5 feet tall. I don’t have long slender legs. My look is average with brown eyes and hair. I’m neither beautiful nor ugly. I am best described as “cute”.
I’m quite “tom boy-ish” as well. My skin gets dry, my fingernails kept short.. all because of my job. I don’t feel very feminine which may explain my new love of pink. I’m struggling to find the perfect hair cut. I’m not very good at doing hair. I hate clothes shopping, but lately finding clothes to flatter my size and shape has been humiliating.
I am envious of other women. To me they all look so different than me. They look like what I wish to become. I stumbled across a woman on Fetlife and one of her pictures. I nearly burst into tears. To me, she was beautiful and absolutely breath taking. She had a perfect slender body, wonderful curves, long wavy hair and her breasts were fantastic. Her nipples perfectly erect and her breasts ample. I wanted to wrap my hands around them and lick her. I turned my laptop towards Sylvanus and told him I thought she was beautiful, but on the inside I wanted to cry and “be” her.
Yes, there are some advantages to being who I am. Being small and cute has it’s good points. I look younger than I am. However, these same traits lead to negative things as well. I am easily teased. The world treats me as a child. I get little respect. I often have “invisible” days.
Perhaps I should embrace this and come to grips that my place may be in being a “baby girl”? I seem to relate to that the most. Could help me identify and finally feel like I have a “place”.
-
It seems the people I want most in my life are also people who are too busy to be in it. I really must be a masochist. I am still very much enamored with the thought of having a woman in my life. I really think she should be a Domme. There is a particular woman I adore and would love to have something with, but, though no fault of her own, her time is in high demand.
Things with Petra have not advanced the way I would have loved. Life took an evil twist and now I rarely get to hear from her at all. Oh well, she is still my friend and I still very much adore her. Things are what they are.
-
I am still very much concerned about my sex drive. Things still are not where they once were. Where once a touch sent electricity down my spine, it now sends nothing. Almost as if my body has grown cold. There are words that need to be exchanged with Sylvanus and since they have not been spoken, I will not write them here. We have a long journey ahead of us to figure out what we can do to make me feel more myself again.
-
My submission has been vacant. Sylvanus has written new rules and goals. They have not been lived nor followed. I have recently broken a few minor rules, due to a lack in control. I can be a bratty girl sometimes.
Work and life has held both of us down. I want to be a good little girl, but it is hard when there is nothing to be good to. A D/s relationship plays off of each other. He can not dominate if I am not there to submit and I can not submit if he doesn’t dominate. It’s a never ending cycle, one where you can easily find yourself in a hole with no escape!
-
I think I have gone on long enough. Enough of my scattered thoughts. It does help to get them all down. When left on my own, with only my thoughts… the negatives weigh me down. However, when I am with Sylvanus, all of that seems to melt away. He is good for me in so many ways. I need to embrace that.

No words of wisdom just now. Huge {{hugs}} Mina.

Wow Mina that wasn’t scattered at all… just very poignant …. It’s funny how our own love or hate of ourselves controls our lives, emotions, relationships, etc. And, I know my telling you (a total stranger) that your photos and your posts portray a very lovely, beautiful {womanly} WOMAN and I am sure your Sylvanus thinks the exact same thing of you, in person…the whole 100%….that my saying this won’t heal you, but… I can try! CHIN UP!!!!! ((HUGS))

you are a beautiful woman Mina. please learn to love yourself and for a lot that is very hard to do. it took me a long time to just “accept” me and love me. i think once you make that step you will find the world will change around you. your confidence will exude and others around you will know it and want to be around it.
i hope your vacation is veg-tastic. i think those are the best ones to have.
you know where to find me if you ever need an ear.
XO as always.

Sneaking out of lurkdome to comment….
“….I am envious of other women. To me they all look so different than me. They look like what I wish to become. I stumbled across a woman on Fetlife and one of her pictures. I nearly burst into tears. To me, she was beautiful and absolutely breath taking…”
Your words really got to me because they are what I think about ME when I come here and look at your beautiful body in the pictures you post.
We all do this. I think it’s almost impossible for most women to see what they really look like. There’s some kind of short circuit that happens when we look at ourselves in a mirror. In the end, we have to trust the others around us when they say we are beautiful…sexy…breathtaking…we must simply BELIEVE.

I am sure your thoughts echo those of numerous women, myself included! I, like previous commenters, feel about you as you do about the beautiful woman. There is always someone more beautiful, taller, slimmer, sexier etc, but you have a man who I am sure finds you all those things (ok not taller, but I always wish I was more petite! Funny how that works.) Having that love and support will hopefully help you deal with the things you can’t change and fix the things you can.
Wishing you well
*hugs* or whatever will help!

Like so many others, I can identify with this post so well, Mina.
I can identify with the need for a break from work. I havn’t had a vacation since the end of last year either and wont have another until the end of this year. Sometimes I walk into work and have to fight the urge to shut and lock my office door to keep annoying co workers out!!!
Do any of us like our bodies, really? I think it is such a lifelong stuggle for many, if not most women. I am honest when I say I have looked at many of your posted photos and wished I could come up with poses that were so elegant and sensual.
I look at many of the pictures my husband so loves taking and often have to fight the urge to delete them from the camera b/c I hate what I see. When he does get a shot I approve of even then I tend to think it is good b/c he managed to effectively hide my big hips and thighs….LOL.
The point is, you are not alone in your thoughts, and there are many of us out here who love looking at your naked body
