Quote: Nietzsche #4

“What is the seal of liberation? – No longer being ashamed in front of oneself.”

― Friedrich Nietzsche

One of the main things about kink and BDSM is surrendering to your desires. In order to do that, you must be able to face them head-on and accept them as part of who you are. There were a lot of kinks I had that I felt so miserable for having because they were too weird but now it’s different. If I like something, I say so and I don’t back down. Sure, some people would be horrified by what turns me on but I’m at the stage in my life now where I’ve realised their opinions don’t matter. Unless I’m asking them to take part, it’s none of their business what I’m into.

Being upset by who I am has never done me any good. By being so open and uncaring I feel more free than I have in a long time and it is simply glorious. Learning to let go of the small things is more liberating than I ever thought possible and I don’t think I would ever have been able to do it without my Daddy’s help. His guidance and affection for me has allowed me to become closer to who I truly am and I could not explain to you how grateful I am for it. I have helped him awaken to desires he didn’t know he had either, which feels amazing. Despite the fact that this blog is about my growth, I feel that both he and I have grown together and the idea warms every part of me.

He even told me that he can’t picture going back to a vanilla relationship ever again. The best part is that I can’t either.

Quote: Nietzsche #3

You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.

― Friedrich Nietzsche

I think Nietzsche might be the man I will quote the most when it comes to BDSM. Whether he means it or not, a lot of the things he said can apply to a BDSM relationship.

Take this one for example: there is an implication that the person he is talking to is looking up at him while he looks down upon them. This position is often used by Daddy and I at events and in his home. I spend a lot of time on my knees staring up at him and just by doing so I feel very fulfilled. I’ve heard that a lot of other Doms and subs do this too, so Nietzsche in my mind will always be a kinkster.

Quote: Nietzsche #2

In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

― Friedrich Nietzsche

Two quotes today, since they complement each other well. These remind me of the Daddy/daughter dynamic I have with my own Daddy; there are plenty of children personas inside those who identify as littles and I am one of them. Both Daddy and I have felt let down by our birth fathers too and have sought to resolve that ourselves.

I did this by searching for a man who I felt could protect me and showed him my childish side and Daddy responded very well. In his way, he feels the need to protect and look after me, to make me happy and watch over me. In return I shower him with the unconditional love I feel he deserves and do my best to make him proud every day. We love to play together as well and every time I am good he rewards me with a session, a cuddle or a present.

It just feels so right to have this dynamic with my Daddy and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Quote: Nietzsche

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

― Friedrich Nietzsche

Nietzsche has a lot of quotes that come off as misogynistic but I quite like them. This one in particular isn’t as misogynistic as the others since he is indicating that women are powerful.

Quote: Carnegie

A man who acquires the ability to take full possession of his own mind may take possession of anything else to which he is justly entitled.

― Andrew Carnegie

I found this in the “50 Shades of Grey” novel by E L James. Despite that, it’s a good quote anyway. It reminds me of the way my Daddy owns me, the strong feeling of control and power that radiate from him when he issues an Order.

Quote: De Sade

When she’s abandoned her moral center and teachings…when she’s cast aside her facade of propriety and lady-like demeanor…when I have so corrupted this fragile thing and brought out a writhing, mewling, bucking, wanton whore for my enjoyment and pleasure…..enticing from within this feral lioness…growling and scratching and biting…taking everything I dish out to her…..at that moment she is never more beautiful to me.

― Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade

I love this quote. It’s a wonderful representation of how a sadist feels when he plays with someone. It makes me squirm in excitement and heat up in all the right places! ❤
