It's kind of funny how it is you find the inspiration you need when and where you may least expect it such as this drawing by TheLatestKate on Tumblr.
Tumblr is a funny place in that all manner of things can be found on there, sometimes original texts or as in this instance art amongst a vast forest of straight reblogging of everyone elses so sometimes you see the same thing several times over not helped by encourage people to reblog things that may not even be their own just because someone got there first.
But actually, to get back the post itself, when I first started this blog and got on a few sites sites way back when, truly I had no real idea of where everything would lead, never mind the series of connections and roundabouts I'd go through tryin' to figure it what was I was and what it was I wanted and needed.
Some of directions like one I wrote about April last where I found I had much less in common with people who define themselves as being sissy generally meaning their more into the idea of being made into something that approximates to but never takes the gender role of female from a male background with a lot gender based humilations liberaly tossed around.
Sometimes I with my disabilities actually lacked the language to articulate and even look for what it was I was really looking for even if in some respects it had been staring me in the face from when I first realized on the onset of my teens that actually I didn't feel that,had none of the 'push toward establishing an adolescent self' cos actually developmentally I was and remain very much the child.
What I did want was a kind of new forever parent type figure I could relate to as that child, who was going to be the adult I'd relate to AS that child being cared for and where necessary chastised as that child because those were and are my actual needs.
In other words what I was wanting in my life was Caregiver for the middle with a little side me not a plain vanilla type relationship nor one just centred on full on BDSM.
