Sir VS. Daddy.

When I first came fully out in this post, I had this thing running through my head that said - people still won't get it if you address Him as Daddy. All the taboo stereotypes often fall into place with the title. Between that, and trying to embrace more of my slave role, I quickly fell into the habit of addressing Him as Sir on the blog. Now here is the funny part, He actually really dislikes being called Sir. Only in formal or high protocol settings am I ordered to address Him as such. I believe this is because He is a soldier, and relates it to work, perhaps? Either way, every time I refer to Him here as Sir, my gut kind of - rolls over. 

It makes me realize that yes, I have came out. And yes, I have made huge progress in no longer hiding who we are, or how we live. Especially since my article was published. But, I am still holding back by addressing Him as Sir. I have spent quite a bit of time pondering this lately, and am feeling that this is one of the last hurdles I need to jump over in being fully out. 

I will now address Him as Daddy, as I do in every day life. I've also realized that I thought we were 'out'. I had been determined not to hide anything anymore, from anyone. However, when my article was published, I realized there were still a lot of people in our lives that I didn't quite fully do so with. I had SO hesitated in sharing my article on Facebook. I finally did, though - and am so glad I did. It got shared, liked, and passed around with so many encouraging and kind words. 

In turn, I heard from a lot of people who took the time to let me know that they understood, or a lot of them actually live the same way or have the desire to do so. Some of them, I would have never guessed. It brought us closer together on a very awesome new level. I received comments like - "I shared your article with my husband, he was all over me after. Maybe there is some hope after all!" or, "It is so wonderful to see someone spreading the word and keeping it real." 

So encouraging it has been, and I am now even more determined to not hold back, to stay real... to stay uncensored and to not hide who I am. I know that many do not have the choice to do so, and for very understandable reasons. Work, family etc. But for me, I have no reason to hide anymore.. not even that last bit that I have held back over the months since I have started this blog.
