First and foremost: a super special thank you and shout out to @shadowrider for helping me solve my photo resizing issue so I could even make this post possible. Thank you, so very much!🙏🏼 I really appreciate it. Monday evening, (4-7-25) I had the honor and pleasure of bringing myself and my little one large step closer together by asking for her hand in marriage.💍 The proposal took place at an extremely nice restaurant in Downtown Dallas. It was very unexpected for her, but I had everything very meticulously planned out. It couldn’t have gone smoother and I appreciate the staff for being in on my big secret and making the evening super special for us. I’ve been super excited to share this with the community. My little and I couldn’t be happier!🥰 -Axl // BigMeat

Everyone pick your favorite color!!

I normally just post status updates for what I’m up to and post multiple a day - but yesterday was so busy I figured I would compile a little post instead of a status 🐒✨ I started my day on the treadmill and got all prettified for the big day. We drove out to Tacoma and we had the breaks done on my car and they had coloring pages ! I colored a guinea pig for @Andriel_Isilien hehehe … we ended up getting a loaner car since they didn’t have all the parts needed to fix my car. Then we drove all the way from Tacoma to Kirkland so Big Brother could buy his car ! He’s done so much growing in the past couple years and this was in his five year plan - I can’t express how proud I am of him ! He got one of his dream cars - a type R Honda :3 The inside is so pretty ! After going through the process of buying Brothers car - I was rewarded with going to Pop Mart since I behaved so well 😇 I’ve been getting into collecting some of their series - I’ve been on the hunt for the Monsters Labubu series (the keychains) but they have been sold out every time … including this time ! Regardless … I got some cute things ! I got a One Piece Labubu figure - three keychains from different series as well as a dolly rolly cat that won’t fall down :3 When we got to the mall the men were starving so they wanted some vegan pizza from their me of their fav spots on Bellevue , moto pizza ! After poking around the mall for a little bit we decided to get dinner before the super long drive home. We went to a place called Dough Zone - a traditional Chinese spot :3 It was so so yummy and we feasted like gluttons ! We had different types of Chinese noodles , dumplings , side dishes , all vegan ! Mmm 😋 I also love to get myself cold plum juice from Chinese / other Asian restaurants. I can’t explain the taste but it’s so yummy , nostalgic , and almost reminds me of jicama Agua Fresca. Here’s the feast : It was a very very long , eventful day but it was a nice one ! I’m posting this from the back of Brothers new car actually , as he drives us to the car wash then to go get groceries for the week. Yesterday was such a big day … I plan on being a Sunday monkey loaf all day today 🐒✨ I hope you guys have a wonderful and calm Sunday !

My entry.

Here's another picture🤭 this cute little Froggy just wants to jump in the puddles!!! 💡Hmmmm..... maybe that should go on my Spring/Summer bucket list this year! Jump in puddles!🎉

After a heartwarming chat with @Warmandfuzzy, .คℓ𝐞ﾋเᏰααα .ᐟ (sorry I can’t tag you as my keyboard doesn’t recognise your name) and the radiant @MissAnna , I felt inspired to carve out a cozy little corner of the forum just for us!! a place to pour out positivity, share affirmations, and sprinkle a bit of joy around for anyone who might need it. Maybe you’re here to give? drop an uplifting thought, a kind word, or just good vibes. Fantastic! Maybe you’re here to receive? seeking a little boost, some warmth, or a smile to carry with you. Beautiful! Whatever brought you here, you belong. The world can be a heavy place sometimes, and we all deserve a pause, a breath, and a reminder that we are not alone. I'm so glad you're part of this community. I'm honored to call you friends. You are seen, you are loved, and you are wanted. Let’s keep this plaza glowing.

First time joining 😁

Hello to all you wonderful amazing beautiful people on here. First how have you all been, it's been a little scary the past couple of days. I'm so glad that the rain is finally over and the waters have finally beginning to recede.. I wanted to come on here because if you all have noticed I changed my username and I changed my profile picture. I always thought that I was strictly just a mommy, I just strictly wanted to take care of someone and that was that. I never dreamed of having someone take care of me. After all I was a mommy, and Mommy's don't have anyone taking care of them. I always told myself that, I thought it was adorable when I met Daddy's or mommies that were switches. I never dreamed that I could be a switch as well. There was no way, there was no way that I could be a switch, for one thing I never had anyone that wanted to take care of me. So I never knew what it felt like. Another thing I never had anyone desire to be a caregiver for me. And when I came onto this form it opened my eyes, to see so many brave mommies and daddies being able to be true to themselves. I would read your post and hold Mr Bunny tight and whisper I really want that. I just wasn't brave enough yet. I've always been a big kid of heart, I love going to the toy section and playing with all the toys. I love to color and draw, but I never had anyone to show my drawings or colorings too. And I absolutely love stuffies but I only have Mr Bunny. And of course I have dozens of sleepers, I would always tell myself that I'm buying these for my little even though they're in my size. These are just some of the things that I would catch myself doing, but I swore to myself I was just a mommy and nothing more. On my days off I would find myself watching cartoons, getting lost in daydreams of being able to run to a caregiver and say I have a boo boo will you kiss it. But I would never admit this anyone, I couldn't because I was pretending to be solely a caregiver. Then I started to meet some amazing people, I met all of you wonderful Littles on here, amazing daddies and mommies. I started reading your posts and stories, my heart ached and desired for what you all have. I desperately wanted to be a little as well, I didn't know where to begin or how to even to start. I was never dominant to begin with, I would always do what the others wanted. I hate making rules, I don't know how to put someone in time out, honestly I have no clue how to be a dominant Mommy. I just knew how to care for someone and love someone, because that's what I wanted done to me. I wanted someone to find me and allow me to be their little but in return have all the joy of taking care of them. I love taking care of others, I love cuddles and to have a caregivers attention. My biggest fantasy was sitting on a caregiver's lap, having them pat my head and whisper it's okay Anna you're okay. I know it's not a lavishing fantasy but it's mine. And I started following Littles, and when I seen that I could take a test of what kind of little you are I was hooked. And then to see what age you are, that had me just jumping for joy. My dream for being a little was really going to happen. I'm still new to this, I'm still learning, and I'm still exploring who I am. But I'm still me, I'm still Anna, I'm still that same girl that's going to be cheering for you and wishing you nothing but love and joy. I'm still going to be reminding you of how much you matter in this world. I'm still going to be rooting for all of you, I still want each and every one of you to find whatever you're looking for on here. Thank you all for accepting me, for loving me, for worrying about me, for taking the time to check on me. Thank you for being here with me and thank you for making me feel a little less alone. So if anyone is on here, if you're a daddy, a mommy, a little, a sub or whatever you identify with and you want to try different role. Go for it, don't let the fear of what others are going to say about you stop you from doing what you want to do. I was terrified that no one would accept me but I was wrong because I had a ton of people behind me rooting for me. And I promise you they will be rooting for you as well. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for allowing me to be me. Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved, and you're worthy of being loved ❤️

Hihi all, its your resident hermit Pigtail here. So lately I have been struggling with alot of emotions and brain changes and confusion. It's a bit of a war zone in my head currently. But it isn't only heavy things sometimes it's also random happies or thoughts or whatever. The brain can be strange. Anyways alot going on up there right now, and a great majority of the time I feel I have very little folks to say any of it to. I know I am not alone in this. Ya know maybe therapy was hard, or my cucumbers are up, or my brain said a weird word that made me giggle. All the stuff that either doesn't fit into a conversation, is too random, or heavy, or the person has zero interest in the thought, those thoughts are why I made this. Let's say what we want!!! Please try to mark trigger warnings (also remember while heavy is allowed this is not The Lighthouse Club) or anything that might be controversial (let's keep politics low too friends as this isnt meant to upset). Mostly I want this to be a stream of consciousness where others can see the thoughts and comment too if they like. I do ask if you use this that you also try to respond to at least one! Let's put some effort into this and see if we can get the recognition alot of us want for pur thoughts by giving it to others too. You may post as many as you want i fully expect it could be empty or could get large. And in the spirit of the post let's only respond to when things interest ypu not to debate. I am trying to keep this nice! Which means nothing on fellow members. If you are upset with a person the is a conversation that should be had with them not us. Other than that the world is your oyster 😊 So feel free to share and interact. I am hoping that we can all get some good conversation going without heavy expectation or specific parameters. Thanks ahead to all who participate! Yours, Pigtail

For Brothers birthday I booked a special surprise - he had to wait till we got checked in for boarding on Saturday. It was a two hour cruise around Seattle and we landed right near Pikes Place so we could adventure around after. I know he likes photography and scenic views so I was really hoping this was something he would like. The only thing I would change was the group of drunks guys that were being loud and obnoxious , and kept trying to talk to us 😅 In no order - here is the cruise , going through the locks , birthday food and treats and nature we saw while out in Seattle !

Loving all the amazing pictures ❤️here’s my entry, good luck everybody 😄

redruffle41 Originally posted on my homepage but had to share: Hey Loved ones, here is a good one to consider. For the daddies who just can't find the right fit no matter what. This is a big one as far as how to have a LTR or at least positive relationship with a girl. (Caveat: humiliation, mindfuckery or degradation fits into this subject BUT I'm not talking about stuff that takes place in a scene /consented play, I'm talking about the relationship as a holistic entity that exists between two individuals). Don't treat your girl in a way that if she stayed with you despite your actions, you would lose respect for her. If you want a LTR your actions can't be in conflict with your respect for your girl. AND If you have a problem respecting women you're gonna have a hard time finding long term happiness with one. Most guys will test this at one point or another to make sure they're with a person with a strong character, to test the subs boundaries and/or just plain old human nature to slack off. It sounds a bit backwards BUT it's possible you may lose respect or interest for a girl based on YOUR unexamined actions and attitudes. Doms who do this especially put their sub in a position to choose between her ability to care for you (through virtues like patience, commitment, and emotional regulation) and her own self worth. Especially in the beginning of a new relationship a sub is generally unaware of your perspective on her or on women in general. 1. Most girls WILL chose to stay at least for a while through dismissive or slightly disrespectful behavior. Girls don't see it as a weakness to hold space for someone else's (your) bullshit behavior. It's a strength to give people a chance. She might be demonstrating some of her best character traits and the whole time you're losing respect and interest for her! Is she "letting you get away with sub par treatment", or she's "immature" or "crazy"? Double check your actions. If you have been a gentleman then you know for sure you can walk away. But if you have been unregulated emotionally AND sexually. If your leadership is sub par. If your words say one thing and your actions say another then you're jerking her around and she is most likely doing her best to keep up with you. So, if you find yourself losing girls left and right and unable to find the absolutely right fit .... Check your attitude towards women in general, your attitude towards submissives and your attitude towards virtues like forgiveness, commitment, emotional regulation and temperance. In short, check in on your leadership, your balanced masculinity, your relationship with yourself and maybe your mother 😂. Subs! Keep an eye out for the FIRST TIME a Dom will "get naughty" with you or cause you disappointment and bring it to his attention right away. Don't be afraid to lose him. He should respect you for it immediately and acknowledge. If he doesn't or if he slips up repeatedly then most likely he has big issues that you can't fix namely because he won't respect you enough to actually listen to you.

One more picture this month.... my stuffie friend helped with the picture this time!

I've said all of this before, but I'm wanting to say it again. You are valid just the way you are. You are little, with or without a romantic partner or platonic caregiver. You are uniquely you. No one can ever take your place. It might not always feel like it, but love surrounds you. In the direction you're looking in, and within yourself. You deserve to feel it. You deserve to overcome childhood trauma, if you have it. You deserve happiness. You deserve to dream, wildly. You deserve to feel better. You deserve having peace of mind in a safe space. You deserve to make littlespace, yourspace. You are allowed to speak up and say no. Your safety is important. You are a beautiful soul, so don't let anyone- including yourself, tell you otherwise~ You are not alone. You can over come your trauma. Just take baby steps day by day. Babble incoherently while hugging a stuffie, if you need to. You'll get there. In the meantime; feel the kindness, spread the kindness, be the kindness. Love yourself and everyone around you. Take the negativity that surrounds you and kill it with kindness, not fire. Because you're worth it. You got this. I believe in you. "MOON PRISM POWER, Make Up!"

This is your friendly reminder that you are enough as you are. You are enough in your whole entirety and that the person you are now is all the person you need. You don’t need to be someone else! You don’t need to be doing something different! You are you! And the people around you love you for who you are. I think it’s so easy for us to get caught up in for what we think we should be or how we should be living and the perceived perception by the people around us. But I think it’s a good opportunity to come back in, come back internal and notice the work that we embody, notice the worth that you embody. You are perfectly imperfect and that is just the way it is. Just don’t allow yourself to fall into the trap of thinking that you should be doing more because you are you and people count their lucky stars because you are in their life. Remember this, Big love ❤️

Hi hi! Welcome to the lifestyle! ♡ I've got a few thoughts you might find useful. They're listed for easier reading, but not in order of importance. You may know some of this already, but I don't want to assume anything. If you're trauma-based, seek professional help. You are not alone, but don't let Littlespace become a crutch. It's totally acceptable to be/stay single. Having a dom/mommy/daddy/caregiver is not mandatory to be a Little. Your feelings and boundaries are valid. You're allowed to say no. If a situation feels like a red flag, follow your instincts. There is no right or wrong way to be Little. It's okay to just be yourself. Exploration and experimenting with other roles, beyond just being a Little, is totally fine. Honest communication with partner(s) is important in a romantic relationship. Having intimacy isn't a requirement to be a Little in a DDLG relationship. Platonic caregivers exist. Not all Littles are submissive, not all caregivers are doms. It's okay to step away from the lifestyle at any time, but equally okay to rejoin. Familiarize yourself with BDSM terminology, such as SSC (safe sane consensual). DDLG is a subcommunity of BDSM.

Thanks y'all for the support and step by steps. I'll look into the possibility/feasibility of increasing the allowed size and see where we stand on storage. Firstly don't crop your images unless you just want to remove something, that takes away background and in my humble opinion diminishes the photos impact. I do 96% of my forum stuff on pc because it makes life much easier, plus my layout has more on it to deal with and small screens suck. So I use ms paint and reduce the pic size, that way I lose none of the actual image. On mobile according to elgoog you have several options: To reduce picture size on your phone without cropping, like in MS Paint, you can use apps like Photo & Picture Resizer, Image Size app, Pixlr, or Instasize, which allow you to resize images while maintaining aspect ratio and reducing file size. The current size limit I believe is 2mb which would be close to 1600 x 1200 pixels which is pretty good size and quality. Hopefully this helps someone with their resizing.

If you hit the plus button on the top right and hit new gallery image. You can then create your own album(s) to drop things. You can then comment on posts and hit the Other Media button and hit insert existing attachment and it’ll take you to your gallleries. You can then upload all the pics you want and comment with them, too. If you need further assistance, let me know and I’ll drop screenshots for you! 🙂

I do understand the frustration. But I also urge everyone to understand that running this place is a huge responsibility on time and money and that Shadow does most of which himself. Sometimes things arnt perfect but I am so greatful he has given us this place.

Another picture!

Hi Sunshines! With so much going on in the world I thought I would ask some funny questions. Don't feel like you have to answer just giggle along with the rest of us 😀 1.

If you were a flavor, which one would you be? My answer: Peppermint because I love the taste and smell of mint 3. If animals had jobs, what would your pet’s job be? My answer: Probably criminals because they are always getting into trouble lol 4.Would you rather eat only desserts or only appetizers forever?

What’s a chore you’d eliminate forever if you could? My answer: Hands down laundry, I would rather do dishes everyday then laundry lol 7. If you were a spice, which one would you be? My answer: Pumpkin spice because I love pumpkin pie yummy 8. If you could have a song play every time you enter a room, what would it be? My answer: Everybody dance now! 9.

Today was a topsy-turvy kind of day, I had to go to the doctors and it wasn't the funnest kind of day. They're running some tests, I won't lie I'm scared. But I think it's natural to be scared in these situations. I keep reminding myself that it's going to be okay, because it will be. Sometimes when things are rough, or they begin looking very bleak we have to know that it's going to be okay. And I keep reminding myself that it's going to be okay. Now we wait for the results, and in the meantime I'm just going to take it one day at a time. Keeping my chin up and a smile on my face. There's no sense of me getting upset or wound up when I don't know the prognosis yet. I keep reminding myself that I have medical training, but that only goes so far. I'm no doctor or provider, I'm just a MA I will trust my doctor and not stress about this. So to everyone who is going through something, it's okay to be scared, it's okay to be nervous and it's okay to cry. Don't think that you have to hold it in and keep it to yourself. You are allowed to show your emotions, you are allowed to express yourself and you are allowed to just be you. Don't try to hide yourself, just be you and know that you matter. Wherever you are, I see you, I hear you and I value you. Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved, and you're worthy of being loved 💕

Good morning all you beautiful wonderful amazing sweet people on here! How is your day been? Has anyone had any adventures lately? I know there's a new game out, you will have to forgive me I don't have a gaming computer or an Xbox to be able to play the games that you all do. But I still love hearing about all the fun things you all do on your games. I'm old school I have a PS2, a PSP, Nintendo switch, and my favorite my super Nintendo. I'm more of a classical person, but what can I say I grew up in the '80s and '90s. Are you all doing anything fun today? I think I'm going to make homemade chocolate chip cookies. Anybody want any? There's so many people going through so much heartache, I wish I could honestly make all of you a batch of cookies give you a hug and tell you it's going to be okay. It's so hard when you see people you care about go through so much pain. I really wish I could be there for all of you, but I want you to know all of you to know that I'm proud of each and every one of you. I see each and every one of you, I hear each and every one of you and I support each and every one of you. It doesn't matter if you're going through something that you think isn't important, because I think it is and I still want to know about it. As I've said before and I will always say, I'm still me. I'm still the same girl that joined a few months back. I still care, I still worry, and I still adore each and everyone of you. I'm in your corner rooting for you, whether it's to find a friend, a daddy, a mommy, a little, sub, or if you just want someone to connect with, I'm going to be cheering for you the whole time. I'm so proud that you were able to get out of bed just for a few minutes, I'm so proud that you took that leap of faith, I'm so proud that you're getting help, I'm so proud that you joined the server, I'm so proud that you are reaching out to people to connect with, I'm so proud of you. So no matter where you are or who you are I'm proud of you and I know you can do whatever you set your mind to. I'm always here if you need a friend. I'll always listen in my door is always open. Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved 💕

Hello to all you beautiful gorgeous wonderful amazing people on here! How have you all been? Did you all have a good Easter 🐇 I hope you all are plenty of chocolate with lots of sweets to top it off. I wanted to come on here and remind you all that you are perfect just the way you are. So many times in our life we think we have to act or be a certain way, we believe if we can't fit it to societies mold then we don't matter. And that's total and absolutely utterly bull honky dooky! It doesn't matter what you look like, I don't care how tall you are, how short you are, how much you weigh, what color you are or what you identify with you are perfect just being yourself ❣️ Don't look to society to fit into the mold, you are amazing just being yourself. You matter, you have a purpose, you have a destiny and you make a difference 💕 Please don't ever think you are not worthy of love. Even if you are battling depression you are still worthy of love. Even if you are going through hardship in your life; you are still wonderful, amazing and deserve love. Your scars do not define you, your mental health does not own you, and your past cannot control you. You are perfect just being you, you are amazing, you are beautiful and you are worthy of being loved 💖 Don't stop being you because you are perfect just being yourself. You are all a part of my family in my eyes and we are all looking for the same thing. To be loved, seen and heard. You are all valued, seen, loved and I will always listen. Remember my door is always open if you need a friend or just someone to listen to. I will listen to you and I won't judge you no matter what. Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved 💖 💕💞

Staying positive is undoubtedly a better mindset than defeat, but sometimes it’s okay to be in your feels. Sometimes crying can be cathartic and rejuvenating. If you feel like crying, cry. Laughing, laugh. Dancing, dance. Shouting, shout. Release whatever you’re clinging to that’s bogging you down. We are taught that negative emotions are inherently bad, but we feel all feelings for a reason. Give yourself grace on days when you can’t quite get it together and celebrate the days you have success. Both are just as important to the story of you. 💜

This little bit of advice helped someone I talked to earlier, so maybe it will help you too! Whatever journey you're on... whether it's work/school, learning a new skill, fighting your depression, struggling with drug/alcohol abuse, working on your diet/exercise...WHATEVER it may be... It's ok to fail. It's ok to be weak and stumble time to time. It's not the end of the world. Pick yourself up and tell yourself to do better next time. And when you fail again, pick yourself back up and tell yourself you'll do better next time. And when you fail again, do it again. There's a lot of numbers between 0% and 100%. If you make 1% of progress each day, you'll be at 100% in 100 days, won't you? So even if you make a fraction of a % each day... you'll get there pretty damn soon. You can do it! I believe in you. It's GOING to be difficult, so don't make it harder by beating yourself up. As long as you're trying, then you're NOT a failure. Love you all ❤️

Affirmation: “I am worthy of my own approval and acceptance.” You are worthy. You may not always feel like you are succeeding or productive. You may even feel like you are falling short to the expectations and approval of others. The important thing to remember is to accept yourself, approve of yourself. We are flawed and imperfect, and in that there is beauty. We learn from imperfection, we find those flaws and shape our strengths. You are beautiful and worthy, even when the outside world tries to tell you that you aren’t.

One of my favorite quotes and perfect to use as my first post here: I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It ia a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for a moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to the future generations.” ~ George Bernard Shaw

You don’t have to change who you are to please anyone but yourself. If you WANT to change aspects of yourself, do it! But don’t do it to fit yourself in anyone else’s box. Boxes are made of cardboard and when the rains come, those boxes cease to hold shape. That’s like life…we weren’t made to contain all that we are in a human-made construct. Be authentically and unapologetically YOU. And just remember, the you of today doesn’t have to be the you of tomorrow. Fluidity is a beautiful thing. 💜

Here's my Paci collection! Care Bare, Puppy and my Crinkle Toy jumped in the picture too! 😆🤭🤣😂 I labeled what size the pacifiers were, but that's the nipple size... I buy standard adult pacifiers and switch the nipples to the size 8, because the shield works for both. The FIXX size 10 are all around bigger... bigger shield and bigger nipple. This picture shows the sizes side-by-side fir reference. Now I have pictures of each paci in my mouth... they all feel different... the size 6 nipples I have to suck on to hold in my mouth... it makes my mouth hurt more after longer periods of time. The size 8 nipples don't always work the best at re-inflating when I suck on them... I like them because I can chew them a little and they go back on my tongue further, so my throat does more work than just my lips. I can also just hold it in my mouth without sucking. I do get a little bit drooly with these sometimes if I don't suck enough. The one without a handle is new! First time I'm using it is tonight!! The big FIXX 10 are my favorite! I could use these all the time! After a day or two I usually have a new paci "broke in" (softened up) so I'm comfortable with it and these go in my mouth and stay there! I even have a paci clip, but I wear it coz it's fun, not coz the paci falls out. My stuffie co-stars for the photo shoot are Care Bear, Little Foxy, Puppy, and Little Crinckle! My wardrobe is Care Bear onesie by LittleForBig! Let me know if you have questions! I also do sippy cups, baby bottles and undercover bottles (is it a bottle or not?????) I use baby dishes, plates, bowls, utensils (spoons, forks), diapers, onesies and I just ordered my first bib!!!!!! BabyManda

Another happy picture!!! It's a really tough week at work, so coloring is perfect! But I had a horrible thought today.... I'm almost out of coloring pages!!!! I'm gonna have to start working through my workbooks, coloring books and the pictures I have from preschool next! 😆🤭

Here's another one! I tried to make the duckie look like a Mallard Duckie, but I'm not so sure it's quite right... it's been a few years since I saw one up close and Google is only so good... I always thought their heads and tails looked purpley blue...and their bodies were kinda brownish grey... 🤷‍♀️idk... real life is always better, but my coloring makes me happy! And happy Baby Girls can focus on grad school, laundry, dishes, and lesson plans!

I colored a couple of more pictures... @shadowrider these were great choices this month! I know I've said that a few times, but thank you again for posting this contest monthly! Even when I don't have time to post my coloring pages, it's still fun to see what other's create! Coloring helps me feel better and seeing other's work makes me smile!

There once was a china doll that sat on a shelf, she wasn't beautiful she wasn't perfect but still in her own way she was unique. Some people noticed the china doll and took her off for a bit, but they didn't treat her nicely so she began to chip. One took her home and loved her dearly but when things got tough, it began to get dreary. So back on the shelf the china doll sat, small chips on her body began to crack. But the little china doll didn't get weary. For she had hope that she was still needed. Some people still noticed her and wanted to love her, though some thought she was too broken to ever be loved. The little china doll wept and wonder who would ever notice her. Was she too broken to be seen or was she just not enough to be loved. So the little china doll sat on the shelf waiting and hoping that maybe someday somebody would still need a little china doll to love. The years got longer the people who noticed her became meaner but still the little china doll kept her head up. Some still took the little china doll to play with but only to use her and then put her back on the shelf where no one would notice her. When one day someone noticed the little china doll cracks and all they smiled brightly at the little doll. You aren't broken they told her, just a little chipped but thats okay. We all have chips and cracks it just shows how far we've came from our past. Some little china doll was taken home, and loved quite dearly. They showed her that her chips and cracks are not bad, they make her more beautiful than ever before. Every night the person will tell the little china doll how much they need her and she is so loved. That maybe one day the little china doll will believe she really isn't bad after all. So if you feel like the little china doll stuck on a shelf with chips and cracks all over yourself. Don't give up, don't be weary, in all due time you will be found, and the person that finds you will love everything about you. Thank you for reading my story.

Hello! Hi! Friendly neighbourhood Soul here!! Can we just take a second to appreciate how far we’ve come as a human race? One of the most beautiful parts of this progress is the growing acceptance of who we are, how we feel, what we identify as, and yes, even the space to change our minds along the way. We are constantly evolving. Self-discovery doesn’t happen in a single moment! it’s a journey, sometimes surprising, often enlightening, and always worth embracing. And that’s especially true within kink. Every day is a school day in this world. We learn, we unlearn, we grow. I know for me, the pursuit of learning and becoming the best version of myself is something I hold very close. Maybe you’ve always identified as a Dom, but you’ve started to notice a little/little side of yourself. Or maybe you’re a sub/little who’s realising there’s a bit of a Dom in you. You might even come to discover that you’re a switch.. and guess what? That’s perfectly okay. All of it is valid. All of you is valid. You don’t owe anyone a fixed identity. You owe it to yourself to be honest about what lights your soul up, even if that changes. If you’ve discovered something new about yourself today, this week, or even right now while reading this.. Welcome!. You’re seen. You’re supported. And you are not alone. I’m Soul. I see you. I accept you. I love each and every one of you not for who someone else tells you to be, not for what society expects you to be—but for who you truly are. You are beautiful. You are smart. You are amazing. And the most incredible thing about you? You are uniquely you. Keep growing. Keep discovering. Keep being you! With love

@BigMeat I loveeee youuuu! 💕my Darling Daddy & now fiancé! 💖
