Only Recently Admitted This Kink To Myself

I've been working as a barista at this coffee shop for over three years now, and it was only recently that I admitted to myself I'm into DDLG. There's something about the warmth of serving customers each day that made me think back on old memories, not from childhood but from my early adulthood when I would imagine being taken care of like a little one again. The trigger was overhearing two patrons talk casually about their relationship, mentioning how they engage in adult roleplay as parent and child. It struck a chord deep within me, a place where I hadn't thought to look for years. At first, it felt weird, the idea that being taken care of could be something more than just nostalgia or comfort from tough times. But over time, I've embraced this part of myself. I don't want to be someone who denies who they are out of fear or shame. It's freeing to know there's a community of people who enjoy these kinds of dynamics too.
