Trust
I’ve stumbled across some wise words, which describe better than I could ever express in words what the core of being a slave is all about:
“Once the entirety of a sub’s trust is given, she will discover that it has suddenly freed her from the need to protect herself, from the need to put a lid on her self-expression, and from the need to armor her heart when she is with her Dom. For this person has not only made sure he understands all of who she is, he has not only accepted it – he has embraced it. Every flaw, every fear, every dream, every hope, all of her; and in doing so, he has taken a sort of possession of her. She trusts him so completely that she can give all of herself to him, and knows that he will not harm her.”
