Part of something
For only the second time since I moved here, I feel like I'm part of a community.
It was a small thing to others, but a big thing to me.
A few days ago, I had a scene that was less than optimal. I knew it wasn't my fault and of course these things happen, but these seem to happen to me a lot. And it still left me a bit off and questioning if I would ever have luck feeling a part of the kink scene in Seattle.
And then, at an unrelated event a few days later, three people made a point of coming up to me to express sympathy and let me know it wasn't my fault. One even offered her partner for a scene. (I just might take her up on it, too!)
It doesn't seem like much, but it was so wonderful to feel like there were others in the kink scene that care about me and want me to have a good time. And again, this meant the world to me. Not to be fighting the battle for inclusion alone, swimming upstream the whole way? That is a huge gift.
And it has changed my attitude immensely. I am happy. Finally, I am happy.
