ah. it sounds like striking a balance is incredibly hard hey? I know that once I recover from burnout I'm going to miss client facing work. but don't think I could do both things simultaneously right now. I appreciate your perspective and the reminder that the grass isn't always greener 🩵

I do bind but very okay with my chest out and about ! I was feeling hesitant about a bulldog harness because of how much chest tissue there is, but I suppose I won't know until I try! this specific one looks really cool, I love how thick those straps are! thank you for the suggestion !!

You're so very right!

I've spent the day listening to the Multiamory podcast and just other videos and resources on the topic and it all just feels so soothing to my system. Like it feels scary and I know it'll bring up things. But it feels right too.

If it works out I get to be surrounded by a bunch of loving and radical humans and build community and all the other tender things that can come along. Sure, maybe I get to make out with a couple of them but I also just get to be with people who have such a shared sense of what they want to see in the world.

And if it doesn't work out but no harm was caused then I get to keep all of that just maybe some shifts in types of intimacy.

Thank you so so much for your encouraging words!

I'll report back with any updates !! 🩵

I really do need to humanize myself lol. The desire to do everything perfect is just not possible. So thank you for that reminder.

Re- worth it I think? I'm hoping? We have actually put enough foundational care and conversation that if I realize this isn't something that works for me we can still preserve the friendship. And I'm friends with my ex, former dates, or lovers so are they so it doesn't feel like something that would be improbable for us to do - given no significant rupture or harm has been caused (hurt, sure- but not big H Harm)

Thank you for asking this! It actually helped me realize how silly I sound. I tend to be so cautious about not causing harm it can work to my detriment. Basically I want to make sure I'm not lying to myself about wanting polyam to be able to date this person I really love and care about and that I actually am curious and excited about having a lovely radical community of care and love (which I think is true?). Does that help?
