I knew very well what I wanted, but not what I needed. In fact, I had never asked myself: what do I need when it comes to relationships/dynamics? Tripp made me face these kind of questions. Awkward. Uncomfortable. Amazing. I found out that what I need is actually enough. It's all I want. It feels like a joyride. This is only the beginning.

The mentorship program was immensely helpful and useful, not just in my exploration of kink but also in getting to know myself as a person. It's been especially helpful with detailing my boundaries and wants and needs in a relationship/dynamic. It also saved me many a headache and tears in my search for a dom by quickly learning what I will and won't accept. Lots of the assignments are things we might think of in a general and vague sense but being forced to really think about, sit with, and WRITE them down solidified a lot of knowledge about myself that I can refer back to any time and see what I know is best for me. Tripp was incredibly supportive and thoughtful throughout the entire process, while also being consistently respectful of my boundaries and working through them with me.

Something unexpected happen. I no longer feel that I need a Dom. Sure, it might happen. But I no longer have that achy, yearning feeling. That missing piece of me. All of that painful energy is just spent on exploring myself, and that's kept me full.
