Swaddling

I was just reading Aisha over here.

and I made me think of my little guy

she was writing about all the change in her life
and now that she is living with her Sir
how she became so sure that
all of a sudden that he was done with the D/s stuff
that
he wouldn't want her that way
that
that
that

you know
the way our brains do
they ramble
they SPIN out of control

particularly when there's too much going on

while I was reading this I was watching the little man
he's stripped down to nothing this morning
it's hot
and he managed to spoil his PJs with fresh formula, spit up (semi-used formula) and pee (very used formula)

after the trauma of being changed and wiped -- all this change for such a little man
he's flailing a bit

what he wants
is to be wrapped
very very tightly
he wants to be swaddled.

that feeling of being closely held
and confined
and safe

and I think that we are all that way sometimes
and I think it's why sometimes
when we have the most stress
and you wouldn't think that you should add more rules to put pressure on you

that's when we want the rules the most
that's when we want the control the most

to be swaddled

  1. yese, I absolutely need to be tightly held and controlled sometimes. Especially when I'm stressed. Good insight.

  2. wow. Wow was what I thought when I read this. You are dead on. The more I flail the more I need to be contained. What a simple, but sooo insightful observation.
