00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Hey. Hey. It's okay. It's okay, love. I'm okay. You listened to my safe word. You got me some water. You gave me all the headpats and cuddles.

2
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Don't be so hard on yourself, baby.

3
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
We were going at it pretty hard, and that comes with remembering to safe word.

4
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You have safe words too, alright? Remember?

5
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And sometimes we just gotta use them.

6
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
I still feel safe around you.

7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
I feel good.

8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Maybe even in a little while we could go again.

9
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:07,000
A little gentler this time, but there's no rush on either of us.

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
You've given me plenty of aftercare, and I feel safe.

11
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:21,000
There's no sub drop going on over here, and I want to make sure there's no dom drop happening over there either.

12
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:32,000
You were a good person. You asked for my consent, checked in, and respected when I retracted it.

13
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:40,000
You didn't do anything wrong. It's okay if sometimes things don't work for both of us.

14
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,000
You're not a monster.

15
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Not at all.

16
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:57,000
If you were any kind of creature, you'd be a muppet because you're snuggly and ridiculous.

17
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I'm okay.

18
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I feel safe with you.

19
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
You're enough.

20
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I am so lucky to have you.

21
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:23,000
I think you need some self-love right now because I can see you spiraling.

22
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000
If you keep beating yourself up, wallowing in self-deprecation, making yourself feel guilty,

23
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:37,000
you're essentially communicating that this whole reaction will happen every time I safe word,

24
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:45,000
which will make me reluctant to safe word, and that's a real problem.

25
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I will always give you aftercare as your sub. Always.

26
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Don't be so mean to yourself.

27
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Honestly, this isn't that big a deal.

28
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
You did the right thing.

29
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
You made me feel safe.

30
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Come here.

31
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
It's your turn for headpats.

32
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Come on.
