I have been meaning to do a decent post with a thinking point and have been trying to find time to do so. A friend of mine commented that I came back from this weekend the happiest I have been in a long while and it was nice to hear. I am happy. I am in a good place and had the pleasure of spending the most magnificent time with the most open, loving, honest people I have come across in a long time. I love people who are real, who can open up on levels and expose the good and the bad, the raw and the real parts of life.  And most importantly accept me as I am as I do them. It’s so damn refreshing.

I also had a first hand look at a poly family dynamic and wow, you know one thing struck me the most and it was the simple fact that most general one to one relationships don’t have this level of communication. Why is that? It was just beautiful. As with any monogamous relationship, Poly ones need alot of communication, transparency, honesty, openess, but for some reason to me it seems deeper in a Poly dynamic.

For those who don’t really know what Poly is here’s the lowdown from Wikipedia lol …

Polyamory (from Greek ???? [poly, meaning many or several] and Latin amor [literally “love”]) is the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved. Polyamorous perspectives differ from monogamous perspectives, in that they reflect one or more partner’s wish(es) to have further meaningful relationships and to accommodate these alongside their existing relationships.

The term polyamory is sometimes abbreviated to poly, especially as a form of self-description, and is sometimes described as consensual, ethical, or responsible non-monogamy.

I also had the pleasure of meeting more people over the weekend who are poly and I just love the way they all interact. I don’t think I have had that many hugs in the space of two days before hehe. Hugs are always a good thing.

Another thing that stood out was the amazing amount of respect given by so many. A kinky, smutty bunch of fun loving people but no boundaries crossed. All totally consensual respectful, honest souls. The conversations were definitely intriguing.

Stepping out of my shell that I have surrounded myself in and finally interacting with like minded souls has very much given this girl’s wee little world a much needed boost and the best thing is I get more squishy huggles this weekend again!
