You probably won’t want to hear this, but I need to say it to prevent unnecessary spiraling and self-rejection directed at me. Reality is that just because you send a message doesn’t mean I will read or reply to it immediately. My silence probably isn’t much about you. If it were, I would tell you, as I’m known to be quite blunt and direct most of the time.

This may surprise you, but I have a life outside of these sites, and I’m not always logged in, scanning messages, or checking every notification that appears on my work phone. Sometimes, my personal phone rings. Occasionally, I go outside, and sometimes I do things unrelated to my Domme life. Sometimes I just decide I don't want to work from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. I've even been known to read a book now and then and ignore notifications.

I don’t respond to unpaid messages or to people who haven’t sent a tip or haven’t sent one in a while. Tributes definitely catch my attention, but even then, I’d need to check my work phone or open my laptop to see the tip. Sometimes, I forget I was supposed to reply to someone.

I have an early bedtime, and we may not be in the same time zone. I'm on Eastern Time in the USA, for clarity. Sometimes, I go to bed even earlier than usual.

You know, reality hits, and I'm living my best life, LOL. I do try to be available regularly on weekends to reply and engage with you, but I’m human and sometimes forget to reply or miss a notification. Patience and understanding are key when serving any woman. Try to practice being secure with yourself and wait patiently, rather than spiraling and assuming that I'm rejecting you because I might just be shopping for vitamins or something and forgot to reply. Or fake it till you make it, and just pretend to know that reality exists, and my world doesn't revolve around you.
