This is what it all comes down to. I am part of an eclectic group of people who view life differently from the collective norm. For me pain is a part of pleasure, power is something to be exchanged, and trust is the key to life and liberty. I have walked many paths to get here; to this place which feels so comfortable to me now. I have tread the path least taken, the one bordered by well trodden paths. I have know surrender and what it means to surrender oneself. I have tasted pleasure , pain, and writhed in the ecstasy wrought by both. I love the feel of silk, and the smell of leather. The feel of soft skin beneath my lips, and sharp nails raked across my flesh. Such are the dark dreams and thoughts which invade my waking moments and my deepest sleep.
