When love and hate collide

You scare me sometimes Master.  Sometimes i am fearful of you, and in little moments i really think i hate you.

Spiders scare me, im afraid of them, and i really think i hate them.

The thing is about the spiders is i live in the UK, we dont have 'dangerous' spiders here, but nevertheless for reasons which are completely irrational im fucking scared of the little 8 legged freaks, i know they cant hurt me...heck im not stupid i know that...but they provoke this major reaction out of me that is really quite pathetic.

I love roller coasters, have 'done' all the big themes parks here in this country as well as quite few over in the US, but as im lining up (usually with my children) i get a little scared, some even have frightened me but yet i stay in the line waiting, and the apprehension is building, torn between being afraid but yet strangely excited.

Finally get on and im checking the safety bar, gripping onto it convinced it might fall off! within 3 minutes its over, and its a huge adrenalin rush, a couple of roller coasters i have come off swearing im never doing that one again, i hated it, the kids laugh at me as we walk around the park and im moaning about how bad it made me feel.....

umm and after a few hours i find myself back in that queue.

These descriptions are the closest ways i can think to explain how sometimes i fear Master, or what he is doing to me, its an irrational fear, but at the time it feels so very real..because it is real..im afraid.

But the fear dissipates eventually, sometimes taking longer to go than at other times, but eventually its replaced by a sense of elation, excitement and whatever he has done to make me feel afraid, angry or distressed is replaced by an adrenalin rush and

yeah i want to get on the 'ride' again because even though at times im scared, pissed off at him and boy do i  let him know how i feel...heck read some of my posts and you all get a peek of how upset i am...so why do i put myself through this again and again...

because getting through to the 'other side' of feeling elated etc is worth it, its a funny thing submission, i write about it being 'my' submission...but its not mine, its his, he owns it, he owns me, he pushes me not just physically but emotionally, kink and vanilla wise....and it can be draining, it can cause me to 'fight' him, to want to put walls up.

But through all of this, really its not about just him getting his 'kicks' its giving me what i need, because as much as it seems its all about the doms and their wants and needs.....most want a 'healthy' submissive, most want to 'know' their submissive, inside and out, to see them grow.....and its about trust, i trust him because he knows me.....and i submit to things that make me believe i hate him because actually he knows me better than i know myself.....and that can be a scary and frightening concept in itself when your essentially saying

" im yours, im putting myself in your hands, in return i trust you to keep me safe, to care for me"

Its a funny old thing when love and hate collide.

  2. "i trust him because he knows me.....and i submit to things that make me believe i hate him because actually he knows me better than i know myself.....and that can be a scary and frightening concept in itself when your essentially saying" ....... well said- I have a huge love/hate towards Sir. Often, my hate is simply because He was right, and again proving He knows me better than me.

  3. Trust. In my humble opinion, the one thing that makes this lifestyle and the boundaries we push within it, doable. We all may initially hate what we are submitting too, but if we trust our Doms to keep us safe and know what we need it is possible to cross through to the other side of that hate.

    1. Yes trust is paramount, without it i dont think a relationship could survive the more harder times.

  4. great post...an apt comparison with roller coasters. that ball of fear in the pit of your stomach that transitions to adrenaline and excitement in the moment and then relief when it's over. And i agree that trust is such a crucial part of the experience.

  5. very very good.

    that fear - roller coasters are a great example, I love them too - well, it's addictive. It's intoxicating that it's possible to have a relationship and build enough trust to experience the fear.. yes, and even the hate

    1. thankyou mc kitten

      Addictive....yes absolutley, i do admit to being a theme park junkie lol

      The fear, the hate bring a sort of balance i think, its not a real fear or hate but nonetheless it can feel like it.

  7. Great post - makes me think of those who do extreme sports - trust, fear, keep on doing it over and over and nobody stops them.

  8. Oh, yes--this is totally awesome in so many ways. I love the title for one, and really sooo much is really about that "other side" as opposed to the moment itself.

    And I think that quite often, people don't pay enough attention to the huge difference between need and want--submission isn't about getting what you want, but it should give you something you need. I'm pretty sure that I might be making sense...

    ".and i submit to things that make me believe i hate him because actually he knows me better than i know myself" yes, yes, yes, yes!

    Ever consider taking a very long trip for a cup of tea? I'll make whatever kind you like!

    1. Thankyou lil

      I confess i took the title from a Def Leopard song of the same title, which i love.

      Need and want is something i think that takes a while to adjust to, to understanld and know the difference.

      I would love to make that trip...i drink coffee too lol

  12. Perfectly said tori. I once had a submissive whisper to me, "scare me." I knew she trusted me enough to ask me. As a dom, it is damn hard to find the right balance.

  13. Beautifully put, a really great post. Fear is a fickle thing, yet trust is magical, huh. I too live in the U.K, and yes 'our' spiders aren't exactly dangerous, but they're still bloody scary!

    New follower, and added to my blogroll on my page, it'll be great keeping up with your writings :-)
