Blurred Body Parts and Volunteerism

Kinky Advent 2020 – Day 21

See other posts in this project here.

Today brought us a blurred surprise to share with others and the reminder that giving back helps us in our submission.

Blurred Body Parts

The SafeworD/s Club tasked us with taking an image of a blurred body part and sending it to HL before tomorrows online party chat. If you don’t know who HL is, he is the Husband and Dom of Missy. They both operate individual blogs and also host the SafeworD/s Club and another site called Tell me About. If you’ve never been, be sure to check them out.

I have a seven hour time difference behind HL and Missy and so my image will likely be late. It’s for the best though. It felt strange having this idea I would be sending this image to another person. So much so that I couldn’t do it. I find it curious that I can post photos on this blog of sexualised content, but as a message it feels completely… like an unsolicited dick pic. Not the type of volunteering I had in mind when I started this post.

Blurring an image takes a bit more work than I had at first thought. But it is no less fun. With some extra patience, voila!

Volunteerism is next to Submission

Today’s prompt form the Submissive Guide starts us with this quote:

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Mahatma Ghandi

It’s not surprising that this is a quote from Ghandi. That man knew more about giving to others than most men (and women) will ever learn. If you’ve been following this kinky advent 2020 project, you’ll know that volunteerism and giving back is nothing new to me. In Day 7 my family and I did all of our good deeds for the season. One was signing up for volunteering, which will take place on Christmas Day.

This quote is a reminder that volunteering is an act of submission. It gives you the ability to put your own desires aside, to serve another. Our only reward being a job well done. Because the holidays can be such an emotionally taxing time, it can sometimes be hard to stay in the submissive headset, especially when energy is running low. Volunteering allows us to actively recognise our submissive need to help and please others, but still allows us to be part of the season, outside of our dynamic. A good reminder that we are a small part of a larger whole, as well.

The last 3 days before Christmas are upon us. Tomorrow brings us a festive celebration and some Carol-ing.

See you there.
