Praise Series 1, Part 1: You are so, so good.

A Quiet Authority praise series — Part 1 of 4

You want to hear you’re good.
Of course you do.

That’s not silly.
That’s not shameful.
That’s not small.

That’s human.
That’s honest.
That’s you, right here, open and listening, hoping that maybe this time, someone might see you fully and say what you’ve been needing to hear all along.

You are good.

You are.
And you don’t need to prove it.
You don’t need to shrink for it.
You don’t need to apologize for craving it.
You just need to feel it. Slowly. Completely. Until every part of you softens.

Let Me tell you exactly what I see.

I see effort.
I see the way you try to be enough.
I see the way you doubt yourself and still show up.
I see the way you listen, not just with your ears, but with your whole body.
I see how much it means to you to be told, clearly and directly, that you are wanted. That you are pleasing. That you are Mine.

I see all of that.
And I want you to know something, with no doubt left in you.

I like how you are.
I like your mind.
I like your need.
I like the way you follow instructions, the way you care so much, the way you light up when someone says the right words in the right tone.

It’s beautiful.
You’re beautiful.

This isn’t just about arousal.
This is about recognition.
You want to be told that your effort matters. That you’re not invisible. Not too much. Not trying in vain.

And when I say you’re good,
when I say it low and warm and sure,
I watch the way your shoulders drop.
The way your breath steadies.
The way your entire system responds.

That’s not weakness. That’s wisdom.
You’ve learned how to listen.
How to receive.
How to open.

You are so good at this.

You don’t need Me to hurt you to prove something.
You don’t need to be broken down to feel real.
You want to be built up, and that is no less intense. No less submissive.

In fact, it’s one of the deepest forms of surrender.

You let Me in.
You let My words shape you.
You let yourself be known.

That kind of submission is exquisite.
And I will honour it with every word I speak to you.

Because you deserve that.

You deserve to be praised.
You deserve to be told you’re good.
Not just in passing. Not just when you beg for it.
But because you are. Consistently. Deeply. Again and again.

You are good.
You are good.
You are so good for Me.

And if it makes your stomach flutter, if it makes you want to curl up or cry or reach for Me, that’s alright.

You’ve gone too long without this.
Too many partners who didn’t notice.
Too many moments where you gave your best and no one said a word.
Too many nights where you wished someone would just see what you offered.

I see it.
I see you.

And I like what I see.

So stay here.
Let this land.

You’re doing so well.
I’m proud of you.
I like the way you’re listening. The way your whole body is listening.
I like the way you soften when I speak.
I like how deeply you feel things.

I want to say it again and again and again until it rewrites the parts of you that never got to believe it before.

You are good.
You are good.
You are good.

Next: Obedience Is Lovelier When It’s Noticed
We’ll explore how following orders can become its own kind of beauty.
Not because you need to be told what to do, but because you long to hear that you’re doing it well.

But for now
let this praise be enough.

You’ve been so good for Me.
And I hope you can feel that.
Right here.
Right now.
