A year can bring a lot of changes. Actually, it's been about 14 months, but it wasn't as catchy a title. Anyway, those changes, like life, tended to be good, bad, and indifferent. I'll try to get my sappy part out of the way early. My first year as a locked, collared slave has taught me a lot. Paramount of all is that I'm loved, unconditionally despite maybe not being quite lovable at times and, despite my new status, I am more of a man than I have ever been - now I am just a naked one.

This year has been amazing. I have two men who have shown me what unconditional love is, accepted me for my perversions (and helped add a few more), and shown me just how amazing life can be when you allow it. 

I spent a lot of time under a certain desk and in service of some fashion or another. I have chores, uniforms, protocols. I've been to places I've never been (physically and mentally), flown first class, and I've gained a whole new family in addition to Drew and Axel and our blended family of terriers. 

One thing that continues to amaze me is my Master's mind. We tend to think a lot alike, but he seems to almost know what I'm thinking at times. Well, a lot of the time. He knows when I've had a bad day and am trying to hide it. He knows when I need to be hurt (not harmed). He knows I want to make Him and Axel proud. And He knows just how far to push my limits, even better than I do at times. He pushes me out of my comfort zone and doesn't allow me to retreat when I'd rather just not deal with adversity and hatred of others. 

My Master and my Daddy care for me in a way that nobody ever has even down to birthday party with my favorite cake and gifts….more than I think I deserve. I've learned that others may see ability in me than I ever have myself credit for. I've learned what real unconditional love is and I've learned more about giving that type of love, too. 

On a kinky side, I've experienced things for the first time. I've lived out fantasies. I've gained a load of new toys, and I've had parts of my body stretched and hurt in the most amazing ways. And I have not touched my dick in over a year.

My slave side has grown deeper. I don't even pick my own clothes, at least without some guidance from my Master. He chose my new car, my computer, what shoes I wear, and, in a case like the car, seeing my Master deal with the salesman made my titanium tube full. It was amazing and I felt protected.

So what I've learned in a year has been that I'm worthy of submission to my Master and my Daddy. While we may not follow the path others follow, it works for us. I've learned to communicate better, at times. I've become a better person because of support from two men who support me like nobody else in my life ever has. I'm proud to be owned. One of my most favorite things in this world is to see the smile on the face of my Master and my Daddy. They make me swoon. They hurt me in just the right ways. Oh yeah, and I have a beautiful titanium cock. That's pretty amazing, too.  I guess my point is that there is a lot of amazing kinky stuff, but that isn't even the top of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to what is amazing about Drew and Axel. 

Finally, a note to those who seek this style life, GO FOR IT. I will never regret finally opening up my mind to seek what I wanted and, though I really doubted it would be, it turns out it was out there - literally down the highway. Don't feel like who and what you find has to look like me and my Master, or the Master on BDSMLR, or the slave on Twitter. Design your path
