Thank you to Luna over at Sensual Service for this evening’s journal prompt. For those who do not know, Sensual Service is Luna’s site dedicate to being a submissive woman’s guide created by submissives.

How do I personally ask Daddy for forgiveness? Well, to be completely honest I do not ask Daddy for forgiveness. I apologize for my actions and convey how I understand what I did wrong but I don’t just come out and ask for forgiveness.

What I am about to say here may very well anger a lot of people but it is my personal view of things. I feel that when someone comes out verbally asking anyone for forgiveness that they are choosing to try and force the other person’s feelings on the issue. I do not feel it is my place, nor have I ever felt it was my place to influence someone else’s feelings in order to make myself feel better either from what I have done or from what I have not done. I see the act of asking for forgiveness as a form if human manipulation.

When I have done something stupid or if I break one of Daddy’s rules I do not then ask for his forgiveness. If he is not home, then I contact him and tell him what I have done. If I am sorry for what I have done then I say so; same thing applies for when he is at home. What he chooses to do about the situation based on his own feelings is created within him. I do not try to influence his choice or how he feels about the matter by either asking for forgiveness or trying to lay on a guilt trip to ease the punishment from my own actions.

I am human and I make mistakes but I also take responsibility for my thoughts, feelings and actions. If a punishment is to come, as it always is when I make a mistake, I take the punishment that Daddy chooses because it was my own actions that caused him to have to punish me in the first place.
