I was held for the first time since childhood
I had a less than happy childhood and that brought with it its share of issues that I continue to struggle with on a daily basis. Such as cptsd, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, negative self-image/esteem/confidence.
Well recently I’ve been going out and meeting new people specifically in the kink community cause I figured that’s the best place to find a mommy. one such person very quickly became my “comfort person” for the social kink group meetings we ended up going to. Fast forward a week and she’s asking me about my interests in kink, more specifically why I want the things I want and trying to understand me more, I end up reading her my impact statement from therapy (made the poor girl cry when I did). but she was extremely empathetic and said she actually had similar experiences. Fast forward two more days and she shared her story with me, and we became even deeper friends. By this time she understood that I was very insecure about myself and that I believed I was unloveable, that I felt like I wasn’t trying hard enough and that I was so tired of fighting my own head alone without any respite from the storm. She also realized I hadn’t ever been held and comforted, since I was a small child and took it upon herself to give me an opportunity to do just that.
We cuddled, she held me close, let me snuggle into her chest, started running her hands through my hair and started telling me how proud she was of me, how strong I was for surviving everything and for working so hard to heal, how amazing of a person I’ve become and how proud of me the little hurt child inside me would be of me for never giving up. How amazing it is that I have been through so much in my life and instead of being vengeful and angry I became kinder than anyone else around me, and how that little boy and the older me didn’t deserve any of the things that happened to me, she wished she could go in there and give him a hug and remove all the lies that I learned to believe about myself and replace them with all the truths that are the reality of who I am.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so at peace and comforted in my life, I cried and cried and just felt so wanted and protected for the first time in a very long time. Not being judged for wanting to be treated with kindness and love, not being judged for crying or being tired from carrying the world on my back. Just allowed to melt into her warm embrace and exist. She might not be a mommy domme but she showed me what it’s like to meet someone who can see all of me and instead of running the other way she wanted to help show me what it feels like when someone cares enough to stay. For that I will be eternally grateful. Keep going the course! It will pay off if you put in the effort!
