I've decided to start writing a journal about my experiences with ropes, I don't have many as my journey started not so long ago but nonetheless they have a profound impact on me so I would like to share them with you. So here we go the first entry, I "rope" you enjoy!


Tangled Beginnings


Dear Diary,


Or should I say, dear confidant? You see, I've decided to spill my story onto these pages, not just for me but for anyone out there who might find solace in the words of a woman navigating the labyrinth of life. I go by Joy, a name I chose to rediscover the delight life once held for me. But it hasn't always been joyous; my journey has been a rocky one, filled with shadows that clung to my soul like unwelcome ghosts.


I'm a woman in my early forties, a single mom weathering the storms life threw my way. I've known the dark corners of domestic violence and danced with the devil of narcissistic abuse. These pages, will bear witness to the metamorphosis of a survivor—no, a thriver.


It wasn't until I stumbled upon the world of ropes, a realm where art and therapy entwine, that I found a lifeline. My journey began with frayed edges, much like the ropes I now embrace. I felt lost, fragmented by the jagged pieces of a shattered past. But within the intricate knots and gentle binds, I discovered a path to healing.


The ropes became my silent companions, whispering promises of strength and resilience. Each tie, a declaration of reclaiming my body and my autonomy. In the careful hands of a trusted rigger, I found a sanctuary where vulnerability wasn't a weakness but a courageous act of self-love.


As the ropes encircled me, a cocoon of safety emerged, shielding me from the echoes of trauma. It wasn't just about the physicality; it was a dance with trust, a waltz with vulnerability. The more entangled I became, the more I found myself unraveled from the chains of the past.


You might wonder how a seemingly restrictive embrace could offer liberation. It's in the surrender, in the letting go, that I discovered a profound sense of control. The world outside might have been chaotic, but within the intricate patterns of the ropes, I crafted a haven of serenity.


These sessions became more than just a reprieve; they were a bridge to balance in my everyday life. The rhythm of the knots mirrored the cadence of my heartbeat, grounding me in the present. In the symphony of binds and releases, I found harmony, a melody that drowned out the dissonance of memories.


So, here I am, embarking on a journey of self-discovery through ink and paper. As I navigate the chapters of my life, each page turned is a step toward reclaiming joy, one knot at a time.


With tangled love,

Joy
