What made you want to be poly?
Because I’m absolutely in love with falling in love.
Because I live for the moment when your stomach drops out underneath you and your pulse races and you realize with absolute certainty that you’re going to be kissed for the first time.
Because I want to know people. REALLY KNOW PEOPLE. I want to get inside them and learn their dark places and discover the strange ways our edges fit together. I want to learn and teach and create and grow and grow.
Because I want to offer support and ask for support and be strong together and be weak together.
Because I have so much strength to offer, it feels stifling to mould my energy to one solitary partner’s needs.
Because I have so many weaknesses, so many imperfections, so many egregious flaws, insecurities, and doubts, it feels unfair to foist them all on one, lonely human, to demand that they understand me perfectly, that they always be enough.
Because I see humans like prisms, refracting their personalities like light, and because I gain nourishment for each band of color within myself from different people and different experiences.
Because nothing in the world feels more natural to me than kissing my friends. Or holding my friends. Or fucking my friends.
Because I want to live in a warm. bolstering place in this cold, touch-starved world. And I’ve managed to create one for myself.
Because it’s worth the effort it takes to make it work, and my work to maintain my lifestyle has nourished the best parts of me – honesty, self-knowledge, respect, bravery, and compassion.
Because why the hell are we on this poorly-insulated rock of a planet if we aren’t going to grab life with both hands and have as many experiences as we possibly can?
Because this is who I am. This is what brings me joy. And who doesn’t want to feel joyful?

Because this is totally how we do it.

Ok, I could get in a lot of trouble for telling you this, so you all keep it just between us, ok?

Love isn’t like pie, with a finite amount of pieces to go around that get divided evenly. Love is like pi, irrational and infinite.

Being in a poly relationship makes you constantly evaluate your own emotions and actions...but in a way that makes me a better person.
Polyamory can bring:
immense joy and dizzying heights of happiness
Polyamory doesn’t:
repair things that are already broken
Polyamory can cause:
previously unrecognized issues to surface
Polyamory doesn’t cause:
people to become other than they always were
Embrace the possibilities with a courageous heart. Accept the fact that poly is a lot of work and most of that work is on yourself.

Cleaning
Went to Kilo's dad's house today to clear out her room, which has sit untouched for over a year. The four of us worked together to make a not so great thing into a more positive one...and worked really hard to get everything sorted and cleaned. We'll have to go back one more time to get the rest of her stuff, but I'd say in this case 4 sets of hands really came in handy... 4 times the woman power 4 times the support 4 times the love. I'm happy for my family, no matter how unconventional or "weird" it may seem to the rest of the world.

Last Night
One of the hardest things about a poly relationship is feeling like you've been disconnected from a partner. Like three of you are sitting on a bed trying to figure out what happened while things start to crumble a little too much for your liking. And then they bend back together a little, but who knows what going to happen next? And what is today going to look like in the light of day, when all four of us really need to sit down and talk about what happened?

A Poly Evening
Alpha and I have a deep talk while Echo plays a game on her new phone and Kilo chimes in when she gets a chance. I ask Alpha to finish the dishes and the four of us talk and smoke. Dinner is made (by me) and we all eat together and Echo, Kilo and I cuddle afterwards. Alpha goes upstairs to her and Echo’s apartment and ends up locking Echo out, who returns downstairs to sleep on the couch. I give Kilo a good night kiss before she nods off to sleep.

Coming Out: Part 2
Today I came out to one of my oldest friends (who I met in high school and still hang out with) about being in a poly relationship. She was kinda awkward about it because she wasn't expecting it at all, but after we left she sent me a text saying that she was sorry if I felt uncomfortable when I shared that we her and she just didn't know what to say in response. I think that it went well for the first person that I have come out to that's not queer/already in this community. We still were able to talk about lots of other things after I told her about it and it ended on a good note! It's weird to have to "re-come out" in a sense to tell people I care about about my partners.

Polyamory is my self help
Polyamory is teaching me how to be a better person…
I am challenged to show as much love as I think I am capable of.
I am challenged to compromise and let go, because I chose to value love more than my way.
I am challenged to be the kind of person who my partners ‘want’ to be with, not just ‘have’ to be with.
I am challenged to communicate my love and regard in such a way that my partners absorb my message and trust my intent.
God help me… I feel so humbled by this journey.

Dear people who condemn polyamory:
I won’t tell you you’re wrong, because I respect everyones opinion. I will tell you, however, the truth as I see it.
Polyamory involves consent of every person that’s involved in it. It is not cheating, and it is not lying.
People who are poly are not “sluts”. Many of us value the emotional benefits of multiple partners more than the sexual ones.
Poly relationships are not “doomed to failure” or “inevitably unhealthy”. Poly relationships do require a lot of trust and communication, but with that in mind they can be very successful relationships.
Last of all, I’d like to point out something important. Polyamory is about love. Sharing and giving as much as you can. And if you think there’s something wrong with wanting to love many people, then keep it to yourself, because we aren’t hurting you at all.

While it can sometimes take more work with a group of four, it's also something incredibly rewarding. And I've heard people say that about poly relationships before, but now it kinda clicks in a way that I hadn't experienced before.
