For the past several months, we’ve been home-bodies. We’ve engaged in very little with family or friends. Our girls keep us busy, but that’s not the reason we’ve been pretty closed off.
We’ve felt so cozy and secure creating this cocoon for ourselves as we learn and grow. This is new and warm and comfy and exciting and OURS. We’ve wanted to wallow in one another. To be concentrated, possessive, and focused. It feels selfish, but we needed it desperately.
How horrible is it that I still just want to wrap us up tight and stay? I want to savor and preserve. I want no extraneous diversions. I just want us.
I do suppose it’s time to let the world in. Or bust out.
But, I don’t want to.
You can always cocoon, again. It won’t disappear.
I know you’re right, I’ve just really enjoyed the time. We’ll just have to continue to make the time, I think.
Thank you!
Not horrible at all, Sweetie. Eventually we figure out how to extend that cocoon into the world, I think.
That makes sense – to build this foundation and then feel secure enough to extend it further.
Thank you!
I think it’s not at all selfish to strengthen your most important relationship. I think for those of us who identify as submissive, that relationship is pivotal, and everything else good in your life for others is an outgrowth of that. Ultimately everyone you touch will benefit from it.
I agree, totally! I see that so much already. The world looks a bit different through my new lenses. I like it and I think the world likes me a little better, too.
Thank you!
It is wonderful to have love like that.
It is. Thank you Mr. Modigliani!
Cocoons are my fave. The outside world will still be there when you emerge.
It really has been so wonderful. I suppose the world isn’t going anywhere….good, because I’m it ready yet. Haha.
Thank you!
Take as much time as you want
I think you’re right. It was feeling selfish, but it realize it’s okay to focus on us for as long as we need to.
Thank you!
