A slave waiting patiently but feeling blind to their true purpose
It is time to see
W/we all need to feel like W/we have purpose in O/our lives. A person who does not have any sense of purpose can suffer from feelings of depression, stress, and anxiety. Their days overwhelm them despite much of the time they feel like they have nothing to do. They don’t have any plans for the future and any future ideas just cause more feeling of stress and depression.
Many submissives suffer from a mild form of this when they do not have a Dominant to serve or are with a Dominant who is newer or doesn’t have a sold understand of their Dominance. When there isn’t a strong guiding hand there is no direction or purpose. A submissive can can feel underwhelmed, lost, and abandoned which can lead to anxiety and depression.
While BDSM and the wide range of activities it encompasses can be thrilling, exciting, and deeply fulfilling, they can sometimes lose their appeal over time. These activities are ultimately tools designed to help create a life that aligns with your needs and desires. Without clear purpose and intent behind these actions, they risk becoming hollow, leaving deeper needs unsatisfied.
A lack of purpose is harmful to any submissive journey, and can undermine not only the training but the Dom/sub relationship itself. Without intention, submission loses its depth and meaning, impacting the emotional and personal growth of everyone involved.
Since submissive training is meant to bring the best out of both people (Dom & sub) and develop a healthy life in and out of the dungeon, it is essential that purpose is understood and clear to everyone involved.
Show them their purpose
submissives:
- What do you feel is your purpose in life (outside of your Dominant and BDSM)?
- What do you feel is your purpose in your submissive training?
- Do you feel having a purpose in your submissive training helps your overall well-being in life?
Dominants:
- What do you feel is your purpose in life (outside of your submissive and BDSM)?
- What do you feel is your purpose in submissive training?
- Do you provide purpose to your submissive? If so, what purpose do you feel you provide?
Really take your time and think about your answers for these questions. Once you feel clear about what you believe your purpose is, come together with your partner and share your insights with each other. These answers can really open up the way the both of you view your future life together.
