A Switch in Perspective
Anonymous Snuggly Marshmallow #786 · General Confessions
So I suppose you could call me a switch? Yeah, not exactly breaking news to me. Sometimes I go for the big-brother type deal, doling out affectionate corrections and stern looks. Other times, I find myself feeling all small and helpless, needing that kind of guidance from someone stronger than me. It's been a journey figuring out these swings in my personality and what they mean. One night, it was particularly clear: I had this intense moment where I felt like I needed to be disciplined, but also wanted to be the discipliner. It ended up being one of those nights where we both got exactly what we were seeking, no matter which side I was on at any given moment. And here's a pro tip for anyone else figuring out their own preferences: it's all about finding someone who respects your fluidity and understands that sometimes, you just want to be swept up in the moment regardless of who's leading.
