For the past two years I’ve owned a second house which I’ve inherited from my parents. It’s on a beautiful hill and I enjoy the natural environment.
At the same time, it’s a bit cumbersome to go back and forth between the house and the other place I rent in downtown and maintain both properties which incur associated costs such as property tax, rent and fees for gardeners. People normally owns and lives in the same property convenient for commute, and I’ve been wondering what to do.
This weekend I’m sitting here in a massage chair on the ground floor of the mountain retreat and thought that maybe I need a sense of dominance and owning a detached house satisfies that need. However nice the property may be, an apartment is like a cell of a bee nest. Even if I live in this house only once in a while, I feel I am the queen of the land and house and it’s important to have such a feeling.
Interestingly, that reminded me of a scene in my favorite show Sex and the City. A successful lawyer Miranda confessed that she actually loved to be dominated during intimate physical interactions with her partner while she normally dominates other aspects of her life.
While I personally don’t share that particular feeling, I know what she means. In fact, I also do appreciate a sense of being dominated if that came from the reasonable conviction from a person who deeply cares about me.
