Stepping back

There’s too much conflict and crisis, drama and negativity in the BC kink scene right now. It seems inescapable and overwhelming.

My day to day struggle to cope with my illness, exhaustion and pain, is more than enough for me on the table stressor wise. I need to eliminate as much incoming stress and responsibility as possible, as my ability to cope is worn thin.  As much as positive support from some in the community has lifted me, it’s not enough to balance out what remains.

Over the last year, with my fibromyalgia I’ve really been robbed of the ability to top and to bottom. The kind of play I can do is very limited. My limitations seem to be growing, and my health does not seem to be improving at all. If anything it becomes more of a struggle.

It’s time to ditch the dungeon.

When we move, I won’t re-create it. If we have extra space it can go towards meditation space, and/or art studio. I need to focus on relaxation, and positive creation. In an environment that’s free of critics and crisis.

I don’t know if we’ll get involved much in the local island kink scene or not, maybe after a while, after a rest and a break from things.

I need to seek health, where I can, while I can.

    right now?
    I don’t recall a truly peaceful time. Sad, but true. Though it is probably true for most close knit communities from bowling leagues to stamp collectors.

    Since walking away from the scene, and with that the drama and the Drama Queens, and choosing carefully who I let into my life these days, I’m a much much happier, healthier and grounded person.
    I wish you the same.

    *hugs*

    Thank you Yvonne. I’m looking forward to making new friends on the Island, and steering clear of any drama there.

    Al, not sure yet which city, depends on where we find a house we love. We can’t afford Victoria, we’re looking at Nanaimo.
