Not So Little Boots
Reading Time: < 1 minute
I haven’t taken or posted pictures for a while. But for these boot’s I had to.
Discovering Curves
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Prompts can sometimes pass by in a blur when you’re not ready to write. Sometimes you look at a prompt and think you have no connection to it. And that’s how it was for this prompt until I came upon this picture.
[F4Thought] The Kink Dating Game
Reading Time: 4 minutes
How does an introverted, asexual, aromantic submissive go dating ? I guess that over the years the answer works out to be rarely and with trepidation.
The Path To Despair
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Content Notice: Suicide and suicidal thoughts. I’ll categorically state here that this is not a cry for help. It’s a place to dump when there’s that realisation that things are not okay. The best way for me to handle that right now is to take a break from the shit and purge some thoughts. […]
SwirlingFire: Love Letter To A Nobody
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Love Letter To A Nobody Reframing my thinking … “People pleasing” is also known as “fawning” – displaying weak boundaries, inviting abusers and narcissists into your space / life with one’s own kindness and compassion, seeing it being leeched away, then turned against the target. It is also establishing repeated permission to be treated cruelly […]
[TellMeAbout] The Aromantic
Reading Time: 4 minutes
I’ve had a lot of confusion over the years about romance. Growing up, so much propaganda gets bombarded at us. Be good, be dutiful, follow the norms of your parents and grand-parents and you, too, will live the Stepford dream of romance and the perfect partner.
[#F4Thought] Proud, Smug or Stubborn ?
Reading Time: 5 minutes Pride usually gets me into trouble. Or perhaps it’s not actual pride, more an unguarded slide into smugness. The worst part of pride is mistaking it for approval from others. Well, let’s qualify that, it’s when they are approving of you in doing things that conform to their world view and not yours.
[#F4Thought] Privacy Through the Keyhole
Reading Time: 4 minutes
I find that the prompt of privacy also encompasses several other recent prompts that I’ve been too busy to write for. When all is said and done I am a very private person. Is that a natural trait, or is it a learned behaviour. I don’t think I was a private person until the […]
Sorry from melody
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Over the past week, this blog has been sick. Actually it’s been sick for a while and my attempts to fix it in the last few days have seen quite a lot of various spam type notifications being emitted, making it look suspiciously compromised. Thank you to those who got in touch worried that […]
Who do the Inner Voices Belong to ?
Reading Time: 4 minutes
What about those voices ? Do they like to tell you what to do ? Do you listen ? Can you ignore them ?
SwirlingFire: The Superior Sex
Reading Time: 5 minutes
The Superior Sex The following piece describes emotional mental and physical abuse from Narcissist Personality Disorder and non-consensual sexual sadism – although this piece of writing is heavily sanitised from specifics, it may be distressing for those coming to terms with the realisations from an abusive sexual partner. for support to those affected by the […]
SwirlingFire: The Silent Timekeeper
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The Silent Timekeeper I’m the full stop in mid sentence The pause in every breath The funeral march that envelops The disorderly disgrace I’m the half drunk cup of coffee With the lipstick smeared rim The swirling of the liquid weather turning grim I’m the clicking of each footstep The echo in your head I’m […]
[F4Thought] Home Is Not A Setting On My SatNav
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Home is not a physical place that I recognise. I was uprooted from the last place I last considered to be a physical place to call home at the age of eight. I’ve never since thought of a building, town or even a wide geographic location as home. The closest I got to that […]
SwirlingFire: Kindness is a River
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Kindness is a River Kindness is a River that quenches the land Kindness is a River that extends a hand Kindness is a River that flows across clay Kindness is a River that will find its own way Kindness is a River that gathers speed Kindness is a River that everyone needs Kindness is a […]
[F4Thought] Intimacy
Reading Time: 5 minutes
This wasn’t a prompt I thought I could write about, then I saw the posts that have already been linked and they set me thinking. One of the things to surprise me was the number of people who separated sex and intimacy. Some going so far as to actively consider them as separate activities […]
[TellMeAbout] The Non-Masochist Painslut
Reading Time: 4 minutes
Pain – Now there’s a word that splits me in two. In general terms, I hate pain. Even mild discomfort is something I avoid in daily life. When it comes to D/s, it’s a whole different ball game. It gives both my current domme and my former mistress a giggle to bracket me as […]
