c'est la vie

Downward spirals where you know the ending but can't stop it. I depise them and yet I seem to get caught in them time after time. Control is something that I crave and it's forever denied to me.

Control is one of the reasons I enjoy BDSM.I just saw that Kevin wrote that. He must have rubbed off on me more than I knew. As exciting as a little pain

The control in BDSM is different, yet it's not. It's a created situation and it can be planned out, but there's still that element of unpredictability. Hence the safe word. It would be nice if life in general had a safe word, wouldn't it? When things are about to go to shit you'd get a warning or something.

I don't know... I think you can guide your life to a certain extent, i.e. exercise some control over what you do and where your future goes, but things change so much and there are so many things to put into consideration... I don't think anyone ever has real control.

I think bulemics and anorexics work like that too, only it's damaging to their body. I've always heard that they starve themselves or binge because what they put into and purge out of their body is one of the few things they have control of in their lives. It's a good thing that their are plenty of other little things that you can control that won't potentially kill you.
