I believe that being a slave is a matter of soul more than it is about wearing someone’s collar.
Over my 30 years in service, I constantly ponder what being a slave means and how it affects our way of interacting with not just people who identify on the left side of the slash but the world at large.
For those of us for whom slavehood might be our primary identity, how can we express ourselves outside of a dynamic? How can we gain a greater understanding of how “slave brain” affects our day-to-day lives? What tools can we employ to continue our journeys and personal growth as slaves without Masters? How can we find healthy ways to get service fixes that feed our soul without being taken advantage of? And how to set healthy boundaries for ourselves?
The path of the ronin is a solitary one, but it doesn’t have to be lonely or unfulfilling.
