risk of rain her burden

She’d snuck into her parent’s bed a few times over the years, something she hadn’t grown out of since her childhood. But to her credit it always got her a good night’s sleep after a bad dream. After she hit puberty, she’d been told she had to go back to her own bed, but after giving her dad a sulking pout she was always allowed to stay until she calmed down.

Before BDSM became popular, people used to just say "S&M": sadism and masochism.Isn't BDSM already an abbreviation?probably short for BDSM.Not ULTRA sure what is happening here, well the fem-domme gal is touching the sub with an ice arrow... on his butt? Shoulders? Is that a male(sub), are those his legs below hers, I ain't sure! Hot regardless! ALSO, what is "SM Play" btw?

Maybe you and I do deserve to suffer for our wrongdoing. If that’s so, then it means that when things get painful, when things get difficult, we don’t have the luxury of quitting. We don’t get to end our lives to escape what we did. Whatever form the pain takes, we bear it, we endure it, we welcome it, all while we try to make this world a place where people like us, like how we used to be, have no place, and the people who would be hurt can instead live in peace. The next time you encounter an obstacle you cannot overcome, when you just want to curl up into a ball and quit on the world, remind yourself that you don’t deserve the peace of surrender. You have to keep working, to keep fighting, to keep suffering, until the day when you’ve fully repented.
