You hold it because you want my approval more than you want the ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ relief,
and I've spent the last however many minutes proving that to both of us. Now, one more ✱✱✱✱ breath, one more ✱✱✱✱✱✱, one more ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ second of being exactly the kind of obedient that I like. You've played the waiting game. You followed every ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ rule. You kept that ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ streak. You chose, you counted, and you repeated. You stopped when I ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ told you to, and that earns you something. But earning it and getting it are two very different things. You’ve made it this far, followed every rule, and waited exactly like I wanted and now you’re sitting right at the ✱✱✱✱✱✱ you’ve been ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ toward this entire time. You don’t get to stop here. Unlock now and finally get the permission you earned.
