Trying to Understand My Kinks

This week at work has been particularly dull, but my mind wandered back home where the dynamic between my dominant and me is anything but mundane. We've only started recently, experimenting with DDLG as a way to explore deeper intimacy and structure in our relationship. It's fascinating how being in this role-play scenario, acting like I'm much younger than I am, brings out parts of myself that feel more carefree and childlike yet also deeply connected to him on a level we haven't experienced before. Yet, there are days when I question if it’s normal to enjoy the sense of protection and guidance he offers me so much. I wonder if others who engage in similar dynamics experience the same kind of emotional depth or if I'm just overthinking everything. Any thoughts or personal experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated.
