Praise
We all love to hear we do a good job don't we? We want to be recognized for what we do, for the effort we put in -whether it's a "Well done today" from a boss or co-worker, or a sweet hug in thanks from a friend we have helped. But nothing, nothing compares to the praise of your Dom!
As most submissives, I think, I am happy to give my Sir whatever I can, praise or no praise -but when you get to hear those magic words "Good girl" or "you have pleased me", then you rocket to the skies and end up on some fluffy little cloud with the No.9 on it's postbox, and you just sit there smiling with a big goofy grin on your face.
They are such simple words, but they hold so much in them. They hold praise; affirmation that you have done something pleasing. They hold pride; they give pride to the recipient of those words, but they also show pride from the giver. But most of all -they hold affection.
Those simple words makes us feel seen, appreciated and cared for. They make us feel safe. Safe in our role as their submissive, but also in our person. But mostly I think it makes us feel treasured. And all from just a few simple words of endearment. So simple yet so significant.With love,

He said recently, just because he doesn't let things slide doesn't mean he's not proud or pleased with my efforts. I said I need it verbally. It really does help to get a simple word of praise.
