Flying Too Fast, Falling Too Hard – A Word of Caution from the Sky

[-Soul-]

Hi! Hello! Your friendly neighbourhood Soul here!  
 

I’ve been watching a trend unfold lately—like clockwork. Folks jumping from Dom to Dom, little to little, grabbing at anything shiny that might feel like connection, like home. It’s not my place to tell anyone how to live their dynamic, but I do feel the need to drop a little mythological wisdom into the mix. Let’s talk Icarus.

You remember him—the boy with wax wings and dreams bigger than caution. His father warned him: “Don’t fly too close to the sun.” But the thrill got to him. The heat of excitement. The rush of soaring. He wanted it all, now. And we know how that story ends.

Too many in our world are doing the same thing. Rushing into titles, diving headfirst into roles before trust has even had time to stretch its legs. They chase “mine” without giving it time to grow into something mutual, something real. And then they wonder why they end up hurt, or disillusioned, or lost.

This lifestyle isn’t a fast-track to fantasy fulfillment. It’s about intention, not just intensity. It's slow-burn, not fireworks. The kind of dynamic that lasts—the kind that nourishes—is built, not grabbed.

So, if you're out there flapping your wings, feeling that urge to fly higher, faster—pause. Check the wax. Remember the sun. Find your sky partner who flies with you, not just the first one who tosses glitter in your direction.

Be patient. Be deliberate. Because what’s truly yours? It won't melt your wings to reach it.

Thank you @-Soul- for your words of wisdom.

So many times this is true, it's heartbreaking actually. 

Too many times Dom's and Littles want the now partner instead of the forever partner. When we find the now partner it's great for a little while, then the now wears off and someone usually gets hurt. 

It takes time to find someone worthy to fly with you, but when you do you don't just fly, no you soar together

So as my wonderful daddy/partner @-Soul- has said take your time 

Find that person who wants to soar with you not just flap their wings to get your attention 

You are worthy of more than just a quick flight, you deserve to soar above the clouds, to be cherished and loved. 

Until we meet again remember you matter, you are loved and you are worthy of being loved ❤️

The excitement in a brand new relationship is always a good feeling that you want to last forever. But then it fades and you want that feeling again. You look for it in another relationship and it happens again. Its an endless cycle that will only stop if you look in yourself in that reality those relationships aren't lasting because you sabatoge them. You expect too much. I'm excactly that way and its why I want more from my dynamic and stopped myself from getting upset when the relationship becomes more comfortable.

Soul’s and Miss Anna’s posts about flying partners remind me of something I wrote several years ago, and I would like to share it, if that’s okay. It’s how I imagine good Daddies/Mommies feel towards their littles.

The poem is very simply-worded and doesn’t have a title. It goes like this:

“I want to keep you safe;

I want to keep you warm …

Until you want to spread your wings -

Then, I want to watch you fly!

And when we’re spent from soaring high,

I want to watch you fall to sleep,

And lie beside you, dreaming …”

 

That, to me, is a forever flying partner, one whose natural instinct and desire is to watch over you, while teaching you to be strong on land and in flight. At times, I have forgotten the wisdom of my own words and been burnt, but it’s forever or nothing for me now. Be safe up there, everyone …

Unfortunately, some people will role their eyes at your message. They will think they know more than you, don't care if they hurt someone else, or need experience doing it to understand. And then they'll just deny that their behavior is a problem even once they see the pattern. This is the real trend that you're seeing.

Imho, you're better off making PSA's and self help guides about relationship red flags, than you are telling people to go slow or not hop from one situationship to the next. Certain kinds of people will always do this, so it's better to assist those who are actively trying to avoid this behavior.
