~Pride~

“What’s the Pride Festival about anyway?” she asks, this chestnut-haired, spitfire of a daughter, from the back seat of the car. ”It’s about being proud of who you are”, I say, “no matter what. It’s about being proud of how you look, and the things you like, and the things you do. It’s about beingContinue reading “~Pride~”

~Comfort~

I was puttering around the kitchen, making coffee, listening to Special Man Friend having a conversation with one of my kidlets. It was a rare long overnight date, and we were lazy and I was happy. I felt hot tears behind my eyes, and I busied my self with getting out the coffee cups andContinue reading “~Comfort~”

~Guests~

I get so much feedback from positive polyamorous people, and I would love to invite anyone to submit writings to be posted here at Poly Nirvana. You get credit, and Poly Nirvana gets a collection of thoughts on poly ideas and concepts to pass on to others! Email me: BraveGoddessProject@gmail.com and I’ll let you knowContinue reading “~Guests~”

~Encounter~

I went on a date. A first date. This was a big thing. I absolutely hate first dates. I feel scrutinized, awkward, and nervous. My palms sweat and I can’t think of anything smart or witty enough to say. Generally I just feel like I want to throw up. This boy contacted me on OkCupid.Continue reading “~Encounter~”

~Blogging~

I love blogs. I love hearing what other people have to say. What they think, how they feel. I’m not quite sure how I feel about blogging though. I want to write. I need to write. I’m at this point where I think I can say just about anything. But I worry about theContinue reading “~Blogging~”

~Madly~

I wish I could say I am poly on purpose. But the truth is, I fell into it. Stumbled over it. And almost two years later, I’m still trying to find my footing. Granted, I knew that Mister was married, I had read about and researched polyamory before we ever even met face to face.Continue reading “~Madly~”

~Progress~

People who know me laugh when I say that I’m shy. Apparently I fake being outgoing incredibly well. After some thought, and acceptance of How I Am, vs Who I Should Be (according to who? Society? The media? The image in my head of how a grown-up lady is supposed to act and feel?) IContinue reading “~Progress~”

~Stuck~

I can’t write. I am frozen, because my self-edit button is constantly on. I’m not quite anonymous here, and I’m constantly wondering who I know, knows that this is me. I know my guy does, which means my Metamour does. So when I want to say something like, “I’m pretty sure my boyfriend’s wife wishesContinue reading “~Stuck~”

~Dating~

Dating makes me feel like the junior high wallflower, tongue-tied and awkward and sick to my stomach. I’m a little bit of an extrovert-leaning introvert. (If that makes any sense.) I’d rather be home alone than have to sit on a first date and wonder what this stranger thinks of me… And I’d really ratherContinue reading “~Dating~”

~Chemistry~

Well. It’s been a week for the books. And it’s only Wednesday. I have been worried, stressed, and preoccupied with my relationship with my Mister. I have been tearful, exhausted, and irritable. I have been impatient with my kidlets, and downright annoyed with my teenagers. A sweet friend told me on Monday night, that sheContinue reading “~Chemistry~”
