Close to the Edge You would think that an edge would be distinct. That, by its very nature, it would stand out from the background, be something that would only ever be accentuated by its surroundings. That you’d step away from it, consider it, get a little vertigo when you look down. The funny thing about freefall is that you often don’t recognise how you starting plummeting in the first place. You were standing, two feet on the ground, and then, moments later, you’re here, the wind racing through your hair and the biggest grin on your face. It’s not the fall, after all. Time has a way of sneaking up on you, but not how you would think. It’s much less a ‘how did I get here?’ than a 'when did I stop being that person?’. You explore yourself long enough, you’re going to find things you didn’t know where there. Decisions will loom, and the answers will be on your tongue before you can think, answers you wouldn’t have had a chance of coming to six months ago. A year. Two. There’s a certain sense to it. You spend all this time exploring the things that excite you, things that have no notion of a finite depth, or even a finite width. They’re just things, kinks, fetishes, proclivities. Every time it’s different, every time with every person something new. Each one informs you a little more, but changes you a little, too. Your tastes mature, because they were fledgling to begin with. It was just arrogance to think that they were set in stone before you’d even picked up a flogger, or affixed a gag. You’re not stone, you silly man. You’re not the cliff. Things leave an impression. So you don’t recognise the edge, because it isn’t an edge to you, any more. It would have been, it would’ve scared the living shit out of you, but you’re not that you any more. Instead you just take another step forward, and your world gets a ninety degree perspective shift. It’s no big deal. Nothing to be scared of. Just fall, and enjoy the ride. -- source link
