Seriously

[Cattypuss]

Wow.

Returning to this thread after a long weekend...

... makes me realise that there is NOTHING in my life, however seriously I take it, that I can't share a joke about. I take some things in my life DEADLY seriously (in the sense that they are 110% important to me and are humungous priorities in my life), but I'm still likely to find humour in them.

Example. I man a suicide hotline once a week. I hear stories that would make your hair curl. I regularly cry on the phone with callers(and at home alone about their calls) because their pain is so acute and so moving. And I get off the phone and I joke with my fellow volunteers about life, death and suicide.

Doesn't some of this come down, in the end, to the type of general sense of humour/life-approach some people have?

I like what I like and I don't give a fuck who cares. I also don't care if someone else likes something else. If it doesn't affect me, why should it?

I take my relationship--the BDSM parts and the non-BDSM parts--seriously because if I don't, who else is going to?

I think that various people in this thread are using the term "take seriously" to mean different things.

No comment, just observation.

I suppose it's the small talk of BDSM.

i just feel like with what goes on around here (as in people who do this kind of stuff) the words are a starting point in many ways.

But everyone is different. Once someone gets around to getting the Official Rule Book and Society going, well, we can get on the same sheet.

now. on a more serious note.

i've read the thread, but it's been a while, so i'm only going off the bits and pieces that somehow got stuck behind. i want to enjoy life. call it fun or serious business, there is way too much going on out there to not relax a bit when you can. i can be a very serious person. i've had to deal with a lot of serious situations. laughter and fun give me a breath of fresh air. i take my sex seriously. sometimes that means giving into playing. enjoying. disfrutando. other times, it means tapping into buried emotions and releasing pain. they are two separate release valves connected to my soul. i need them both turned and played with.

Agreed.

I take my marriage seriously...big picture.

But I see myself and everything around me as minuscule in the bigger picture. So in the big, big picture, I can laugh at everything.

That is very well put, Stag.
