I wasn't really sure about the things my sixteen-year-old self would have liked to know, either. But then I remembered some experiences which shaped the person I am today. So I thought that addressing these might be the most important task.<br /><br />Throwing oneself into it definitely is a good idea, although I don't think that this advice would have helped my sixteen-year-old self very much. I just wasn't ready, yet, and I had to learn it step by step.Kaelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108718924415630397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-83113920855304940882010-11-26T11:35:14.760+01:002010-11-26T11:35:14.760+01:00I'd probably want my 16 y.o. self to send the ...I'd probably want my 16 y.o. self to send the first letter. It would help to know exactly what he wants to know!<br /><br />In theory, I can remember what I wanted to know back then. But, a specific request would make it so much easier.<br /><br />But, as far as I can remember, the main thing I'd want to tell him is to throw himself into it. The universe would respond to him better than he might think. Perhaps that's true for everyone.Rich Personhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029518662880068066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-85401809531790572742010-11-23T21:04:36.481+01:002010-11-23T21:04:36.481+01:00@ Abel:

I think that's because being quite open about the things that move me is not too difficult for me. Of course I've got my limits, too. Had this post contained any confessions about mistakes on my behalf, it would have been much more difficult for me to write it.<br /><br />@ Val:<br />I asked myself the question you mentioned not concerning kink but concerning finding a partner. Wouldn't it have been better to find my mate earlier in life? But like you said, the answer is no because I wasn't ready, yet. So, I think I should be glad that I've got Ludwig now, instead of thinking about how much better it would have been, had we met when we were a few years younger.<br /><br />@ Indy:<br />Yes, having the ability to give one's sixteen-year-old self a bit of reassurance would be great! That's an important part of my letter, too, only that the topic that bothered me the most when I was sixteen wasn't my kink.<br /><br />@ Simon:<br />I also needed some time to think about what I would like to tell my sixteen-year-old self. As you said, the process of growing is the important part and there aren't many things one can say or do in advance to make that process any easier.<br /><br />@ Emma Jane:<br />Thanks again for the inspiration! I also think that I'm still worrying much more about things than I should. Having experienced the process of dying and the meaning of loosing a close and beloved person doesn't make me any less fearful. Although it might have changed the amount of risks I'm willing to take and how I categorize problems. No one dead? No one badly injured? No one became homeless? No one was separated from a beloved person? Then maybe the problem can be solved and is no reason for sleepless nights... :-)Kaelahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108718924415630397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-19140874186244689022010-11-18T21:38:22.464+01:002010-11-18T21:38:22.464+01:00Great post Kaelah.

I do agree that I wouldn't really want to tell my yiunger self how the story turns out, cos life has to be lived, afterall. <br /><br />But I would have liked to give that little bit of reassurance about things.

I would definitely have liked to know that I wasn't the only one, to know that I could make such wonderful friends by delving into this world. I don't think I could have made sense of it at the time, but it would have been nice to know I wasn't alone.Indyhttp://www.innocentindy.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-34240549828932897242010-11-17T02:03:34.890+01:002010-11-17T02:03:34.890+01:00Very intriguing.

To answer y...Very intriguing. Very touching letter.<br />To answer your questions: no, I wouldn't mention spanking details -that whole process is part of growing up, and no one can do that for you, not even yourself through a timewarp of some sort. Did the kink bother me then? Yes, through the feeling of weird solitude, but if you trust yourself and are truthful, you will survive and be wiser in the end. Hmm, a corolary would be: do you feel you missed out by not figuring it out early, opening up and acting the kink earlier? No, at any point you are only as wise as you have become by then, and anything extra would be just that, and over your head, you wouldn't benefit.Valnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-616982860776135414.post-2073019788531679592010-11-16T22:04:55.783+01:002010-11-16T22:04:55.783+01:00Emma Jane's original post was quite wonderful,...Emma Jane's original post was quite wonderful, and your own your letter is also incredibly touching - as is the rest of the post.
