The Pledge

To Whom I belong,

On my knees, with my head bowed and shoulders lowered, I offer You my Pledge of Service. As a start, I want to express gratitude for noticing me. Having lived my life as a wallflower, sometimes overlooked and taken for granted, it brings me joy to know someone as great as You has seen me. I am grateful that You have recognised my potential for greatness. You have seen that in Your care and with Your guidance, I will enhance the quality of my life and add value to Yours. Thank You for entrusting me with various tasks, no matter how minuscule, because I feel a sense of purpose in being responsible for and accountable to You. I am grateful that You have acknowledged my strengths and been considerate enough to support me as I work on my weaknesses. I pledge my focus, time and efforts to ensure all You ask or command of me — the most important thing is living authentically — is done with enthusiasm and love. You deserve the best of me, and that is what I strive to give every day that I am honoured with Your presence in my life.

In addition to offering my purpose to You, I surrender my mind, body and soul. All that I am is Yours to control and mould. With respect and trust being fundamental elements for a functional relationship, I give both to You willingly and confidently expect reciprocation (in that regard) by You using all I am. I am grateful for Your appreciation of the contours of my body and look forward to the drilling I’ll endure, ensuring those contours remain on par with Your standards. Thank You for the mental stimulation I already receive from the words You impart to me; I look forward to Your sharp tongue sharpening my mind and keeping me in my best form mentally. To follow You is my task. To grow with You at Your pace is my goal.

In the darkest times, I pledge to always be at Your feet. When the ghosts of Your past haunt You, may my chest be where You seek refuge and rest. From sunrise to sunset, Your satisfaction and joy will be what I pursue. Rest assured that, even at my worst, I will strive to bring You peace. I appreciate the empathy You show me that is attentive to my mental health issues and grants me space to process my feelings and recalibrate. As you’ve said before, I have to learn how to reconnect with my best so I can be my best — and You’re always ready to offer tools to get me back on track. I pledge to be the same to You. To carry Your burdens when they weigh on You, to ground You when life gets overwhelming and to ease Your pain when the world gives You a beating.

As previously discussed, Your mentorship does not always come in the form of a warm, fuzzy bear. There will be challenges and differences to navigate together. I’ve seen how You choose to correct and discipline — carefully considering who I am, Your will for me and the depth of my transgression. You strip me of my pride and ego with a single word and let me see the error of my ways such that I am inspired to do and be better for myself than You. All You command of me to correct me is with my best self in mind — which You’ve expressed is an integral part of Your vision for Your life. I acknowledge that all Your decisions have me in mind, and I pledge not to take them for granted. Even when I don’t agree with those decisions, I pledge to reason with myself first (using the tools You’ve given me) before respectfully addressing my concerns with You.

I am grateful for the time You take to listen to me. I appreciate how attentive You are to my needs and concerns and how You challenge me to always “leave my fear at the edge of the cliff and jump anyway.” You’ve taught me to adjust how I face my fears so I can facelift the same way. I “embrace the scary”, use it as fuel to do what needs to be done and reward myself for doing so. Thank you for rewarding my growth. Your daily gestures and affirmations assure me that You are attentive to me and that I matter to You. When I try to run, You encourage me to run to You because the only reason why I’d feel like running is because I’ve strayed from You. Thank You for encouraging my curiosity and helping me explore life beyond the walls I kept myself in on my journey as a submissive. From giving me rabbit holes to explore to inspiring me to use my talents, You’ve taught me there’s more to service than adhering to structure and doing what I’m told. I demonstrate love to You by being and doing as You show the same by being and instructing. You’ve said that “being” is fundamental to keeping our dynamic from being monotonous and stoic.

“Being” in the dynamic indicates signs of abundant life— Your ultimate will for this dynamic. It is proof that we are not just alive but thriving. You provide space for me to be myself and to evolve into a better me. It is my safe space, my haven, my home. All my tomorrows begin in that space, and my todays end there. My pleasure and pain have roots in that space. My ambitions and dreams find their genesis and regeneration in that space. Although there is no place I would rather be, You have shown me how to avoid making it the comfort zone in which I will die. “The nest may be where you find sustenance, Princess, but remember there is growth outside the nest” " You always say. I’m grateful for teaching me that although I have surrendered all I am to You, my life does not revolve around the existence of the dynamic.

In the spirit of honour and obedience to Whom I surrender my all, may my body be Your most prized possession — in its representation and maintenance. I shall never bring harm to my body in any way because I trust You will do the same. Your appreciation for my appearance, even on my worst days, does not go unnoticed, and I shall ensure to uphold and improve on the standards You have set for me. This body is Your property — to display, use, embrace, punish and cherish. At all times, in everything we do, Your pleasure is my main objective. May my orgasms represent the abundance of love I hold for You. May the scars I place on your back, arms and chest prove my worship of Your body entwined with mine, and the bruises on my body be indicative of Your value of me — Your precious Princess. My body is the temple from which You find sexual sustenance, and my flowing waters Your refreshment.

In You, I have found a friend, a lover and an unavoidable force that sets me on the right path when I go astray. I don’t take Your teachings for granted, and I look forward to exploring life by Your side until either of us stops breathing. Whatever You command me to do, I will do. Wherever You command me to go, I will go. Whoever You want me to share You with, I shall embrace and love as I do You. On our worst days, I will stay at Your feet regardless of how the turmoil makes me feel. I commit to patiently waiting for instruction before You until You choose to release me. I desire to be of use to You, in service of You and constantly pursuing Your satisfaction beyond the confines of Your bedposts. Your collar around my neck symbolises my freedom from the world’s woes and a beloved reminder that I am free to be for as long as I am Yours.

From Your feet to the moon and back (several times) is the greatness of my respect for You. As far as the East is from the West is the breadth of my commitment to You. As far as I can travel to the ends of the universe from Your side is the depth of my love for You. I embark on this journey with You in full knowledge that this is a life-long commitment, and I pledge never to give reason to go back to life without each other. You are as part of me as the skin covering this body that You own. Under Your leadership and guidance, I look forward to letting go of who I thought I should be and discovering, embracing and becoming who I am. As I spend my days aiming to make You proud, I shall find pride in being Yours. If You’re here, there’s nowhere I need to go.

Yours, always,

The Chosen Stone ❤️
