Recently I shared a post on my social media and I got a lot of questions in my inbox.
“OMG YOU’RE POLY?”
First let me say this. On my platform I share my life’s journey from my relationship, my mental health issues and my personal thoughts and experience. My platform isn’t for everyone and that’s ok. My journey is to help inspire, motivate and encourage others who might be struggling with the same issues or maybe they can relate.
With that being said, if you disagree with something I say or a comment someone posts, remember to be kind always. We can all agree to disagree.
I’ve expressed before how I am POLY-AMOROUS. What does Polyamorous mean?
To put it simply, it means to have more than one love or multiple romantic relationships. Yes, I love more than 1 person at the same time.
A lot of people have been asking if this is something I’m experimenting with and the answer is NO. I’ve been a polyamorous person since I can remember. At a young age I knew I wanted to have multiple partners growing up. I wanted to have a husband and a wife. This is before I knew the term poly.
I’ve always identified with being bisexual and in my early 20s I started identifying with being pansexual. Of course, not many of my friends or even family members approved of this, which for me, was ok because I wasn’t living my life for these sake.
Being poly (for short) doesn’t mean I am in an open relationship. I think a lot of people often confuse open relationships with being poly. So I’ve decided that I will break down the difference in a later post at another time.
But for the time being, to answer everyone’s question, Yes I am a married polyamorous, pan/bisexual, dare I say queer, black, immigrant woman.
I’ll be posting more about my love life and poly as well so be sure to follow and leave a comment.
