Submission is your strength

Surrender is not weakness — it is strength in its purest form. To embrace your submissive nature fully is to make a choice that demands courage, not frailty.

The world teaches you to resist, to fight, to prove yourself through control. It tells you that strength lies in dominance, that power belongs only to those who take charge. But submission requires something far deeper — the strength to let go.

It takes strength to silence the voice that tells you to hold back, to resist, to doubt. It takes strength to release the tension that keeps you guarded and fearful. True submission asks you to lean into the unknown, to surrender to the force that’s been calling you all along — the quiet, powerful truth of your own nature.

When you stop resisting, something remarkable happens. The fear melts away. The noise fades. What’s left is clarity — a calm, undeniable sense of purpose. Submission is not about losing control; it’s about discovering the strength that comes when you no longer need to cling to it.

The chain around your neck — heavy, firm, and secure — is not a symbol of defeat. It’s a reminder of the power you’ve claimed by embracing your truth. It grounds you, steadies you, and reminds you that submission is not a burden — it’s your path to freedom.

It takes strength to kneel, to bow your head, to whisper, I give myself to this. But when you do, you will feel it — the quiet surge of peace, of power, of release. Because true strength is found not in resistance, but in surrender.

Friendly advice from one boy to another.

The newest recruit always has the most to learn. It is part of the other boys duties to teach them. The advice comes think and fast:

Don't be proud. Don't assert yourself. Don't question anything. Don't think you're special. Don't expect attention. Don't express any opinions. Don't speak unless spoken to.

Do be absolutely submissive. Do conform. Do obey every single order. Do exactly what we do. Do treat Sir as your idol. Do abandon any notions of 'self'. Do feel grateful. Do give everything. Do realise that you exist only to serve.

The boy listened carefully and took the advice. This was how he wanted his life to be now. He wanted to be one of the boys.

Exceeding expectation

Wearing a suit when it is expected or demanded is one thing.

To wear it when it is neither demanded or expected... that's where the impact really is.
