I'm a little.... Now what? o.o

[nekocat1984]

So I'm a bit new and I'm wondering if I may ask for some thoughts and advice?  Apparently I've been a "little" and never knew it....  And now I'm kind of wondering "What next? Now what?" I never knew it was an actual "thing" until recently

Up until recently.... I knew that I was a submissive, I knew that I craved spanking and a disciplinary dynamic.... and have always looked for some sort of "fatherly figure" (I just chalked it all up to "daddy issues")  I knew that despite being 38 years old, I never really felt 100% my age....  More often than not, I've felt more like a small child....  I knew that I loved my dolls and toys and stuffies and would surround myself with cutesy pink girly things and put my hair up in pigtails, I just thought that was "just how I am" and that perhaps it was a little odd...

But those super super close to me would see me regress a little bit and display "childlike tendencies" and eventually I started having several people suggest that I might actually be a "little" ....  Well, from what I've read, it sure sounds like me...!

But now what? o.o Is there something I'm supposed to do? Is there a "next step" ? Is the next step learning how to allow myself to act that way?

I have a few people who have seen my childlike side...  I'm actually typing this up surrounded by Playmobil toys and dolls and stuffies in my pink girly room with fairy lights.... So I kind of already play with those things...  Is it just "being myself" ? Is there something new and fun I get to do now that I've discovered this little side?

I'm totally lost and am kind of stuck in this "Now what?" situation.

It comes down to, be yourself. There is no "one way" to be a little or magical next step. It's just allowing yourself permission to be who you are. Labels can be helpful but don't let them constrain or define you.

Thank you for the input! I suppose this is one of those things I'll just get used to or start feeling "at home with" over time
