The Void: An Introduction
Hello there. So, I suppose after plenty of lengthy threads on Twitter, this is my next great idea … a Domme blog, or maybe more accurately, a Belle blog. I’m not too sure right now. I’d love to tell you I have a clear direction and concise plan for what this will be or grow into, but I don’t. I imagine this will become a place for me to share my thoughts on the community as whole, my personal experiences, maybe some advice, but mostly just a place to be myself and ramble about my thoughts and feelings. I intend to be raw and candid, so if you’re seeking my sleek, refined, perfectly poised posts, or looking for the Goddess you’ve come to know and love, then you may want to head back to twitter. I’m only looking to be human here.
Truthfully, I don’t know where to begin now that I’m not limited to 280 characters (that I always manage to exceed anyway). Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit burned out, so maybe it seems odd to be starting a blog, but I hoped it would rekindle my inspiration and passion for the community again. It may also add some perspective for subs to see the darker, imperfect side of being a Domme, or help other Dommes to know they’re not alone and everyone gets those less than fond feelings in the community. At the very least, it’s something new to do while I try to convince myself to post content and avoid the self-inflicted pressure of having alluring captions and perfect imagery. I guess that’s what it comes down to though, that pressure. This constant need to be “on” and to be perfect, to be amazing, and to make it look effortless. That is what we all tend to burn out from, but maybe I’m hoping to free myself of that feeling here. I don’t intend for every post to be bleak or depressing, but I promise they will be real, and maybe we all need a bit more of that in this please.
Anyway, this introduction post has sat quietly in my drafts for weeks now, where I have gone through many moods and feelings and as such, I’ve ripped it apart and pieced it back together again several time over. But, once upon a time someone told me it was good to have a void to shout into, a place for my thoughts to go with no concern of who may be watching, how I’ll will be perceived, or if my thoughts will negatively affect the dreaded algorithm. So, I guess if you’re reading this, then I finally hit “publish”. Welcome to the void.
