Little_Ghoul Posted June 2, 2023 Report Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) Hi, I've been involved with the ddlg community for almost 9 years, and having spent most of my 20s in this, I've never really felt like my real age played a huge part in my ddlg life. As I approach my 30s, however, I feel that starting to change. I'm not sure if it's just an internalized fear of getting older or the countless people I've seen try to gatekeep against older littles, but I'm becoming apprehensive. I'm not super nervous about turning 30 in general, but when it comes to this, I find myself being self-conscious about becoming too "old"🙄 for this. I'm trying to be proactive and turn this fear into a learning opportunity. So my question is, how has age affected your littleness? Also, any advice or encouragement you could give would be more appreciated!! Edited December 31, 2023 by Little_Ghoul 1
Little kaiya Posted June 2, 2023 Report Posted June 2, 2023 Let me offer some encouragement hopefully. I turned 45 at the start of May and have actively been part of the DDlg community for 27 years now. I have an amazing Daddy I didn't find until I was 39. I have an amazing Wife who is completely fine with me being a little. I have little clothing. My Daddy reads me a story every night before bed. We have bath time where He loves to laugh when I get mischievous and squirter Him with water. Things have just continued to grow and evolve in a way filled with unconditional love. The people who try to gate keep . . . Honestly, I pity them more than anything. If their lives are so filled with such closed mindedness, we'll, all it does is hurt them in the long run. Neither My Daddy or I gave them any time. We know who we are. We know what we like. We are going to keep living and enjoying our lives regardless of what the gatekeepers try to day or do. Whether you're in your twenties m, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies or any age, you hold the power over your life and your comfort and happiness. Never give that power to people who want to abuse it or you. 2 1
Andriel_Isilien Posted June 3, 2023 Report Posted June 3, 2023 I'm nearly 35 and have fully embraced me being a little. There are quite a few peeps in the community (online and even in person) I have found closer to my age range that I click with. I plan to enjoy life as is like this however old I get. I see people older than me still thriving in their kink. They talk about how their 40s, 50s, and so on have been their best years. Those who want to make fun of, criticize, or whatever because of an age I don't hang around. I don't need nor do I want their approval. They most certainly will be closed minded about other things and are not worth engaging in. Being a little is too important to me. 2
Little_Ghoul Posted July 14, 2023 Author Report Posted July 14, 2023 Thank you both for your responses. They both really helped me approach my birthday with far more excitement then I originally had! 1
SweetLu Posted July 30, 2023 Report Posted July 30, 2023 Happy early birthday! Honestly, all I can say is "Enjoy!" For me anyway, the 30's is where I started coming into myself. I dove into DS instead of just lurking & testing the waters, felt more confident in me and was able to say 'this is me.' 😊 And now? I'm considered old, but I feel even better about myself, where I am & am able to take on a part of me that, didn't really scare me, but that I wasn't sure how to bring into my life. I've noticed the gatekeepers even in the short time I've been around. I kinda feel bad for them because there are some AMAZING older littles in here. 😁 1 1
