Becoming Mistress: Why I Took the Whip Back

3-5-minute read

There’s this notion that becoming a dominatrix is just about control. But for me, it was about reclaiming the control that was taken from me—over and over again, since childhood.

I noticed the power games early. In grade school, it wasn’t just teachers enforcing rules—it was kids mimicking the very same control. I saw boys push girls around to assert dominance. I saw girls bully other girls into submission just to stay in the “right” social circle. I wasn’t exempt—I was a target.

I got picked on for being

“too much.”

Too loud.

Too confident.

Too hard to tame.

But what they were really saying was:

“You don’t know your place.” And they were right—I didn’t.

I refused to make myself small for anyone’s comfort.

But refusing to shrink came with a cost.

As I got older, that same resistance to submission made me magnetic to some—

and dangerous to others.

Lovers approached me like I was a challenge. A challenge that "must" be won over. At first, they’d say they admired my independence, my strength, my fire.

But eventually, the mask would drop.

What they really wanted was to own the fire, to harness it, to dim it so it didn’t outshine them.

And when I refused to bend?

They became obsessed, controlling, or cruel.

Love turned into possession.

Care turned into manipulation.

Because they couldn’t dominate me—they tried to destroy me.

Friends? The ones who called me “Bestie" one day would ghost me the next when I didn’t play the submissive role they silently expected.

Some smiled to my face, only to betray me when I stood up for myself. What I’ve learned is this: power doesn’t always corrupt—but envy does. And when people can’t control you, they will try to turn others against you.

I’ve seen this in every corner of life—especially in the systems meant to protect.

Parents who misused their authority. Institutions that abused their power. Systems that labeled me “too difficult” instead of too honest. They didn’t want healing—they wanted obedience.

Even in the workforce, I saw it. The glorification of burnout. The expectation that I should break my back for minimum wage and smile while doing it. The illusion that my worth was tied to productivity. And I called bullshit.

So no—my choice to become a mistress wasn’t about fantasy. It was about truth.

About naming what I’d always seen in the world:

Control is everywhere, and most of the time, it’s abused.

Becoming a dominatrix gave me the sacred space to reverse the roles—to give structure through consent, not coercion. To say, “You can let go here, because this space is honest. It’s negotiated. It’s safe.” Something the outside world rarely offered me.

I’ve been called intimidating.

Uncontrollable.

And maybe that’s true.

But that’s also how I know I’ve taken the whip back.

Not to hurt—But to protect what’s mine.

To stand firm in my power.

To make sure no one ever strips me of it again.

Because when the world tried to make me a victim,

I became the Mistress.

And I never looked back.
