Hella dapper.
I always see that Tumblr post where people talk about having a timer that counts down until you meet your soul mate. But to be honest if I were to have something that leads me to my soul mate I don’t think id want a timer i’d want a compass.
I like the idea of being able to see the needle of the compass move around as my soul mate goes to the grocery store maybe thousands of miles away.
I like the idea of people taking a year off work to follow the little needle hoping that if they keep going they can find there other half.
Imagine widows whose compass needles are grey and broken and spin around and around continuously looking for there other half.
Imagine aromantic’s whose needle points at themselves or don’t have one at all or maybe they do but its blue and points at there friends when there close by.
Imagine polyamourous people with 2 or 3 needles on there compass and there big decision is trying to figure out which one to follow first.
Imagine parents worriedly looking at there childs compass that spins around day in and day out and they breathe a sigh of relief the day it stops spinning and starts pointing with determination to some hospital somewhere.
Imagine people going to shake hands and realizing that there needles are pointing diligently at each other and just laughing and smiling awkwardly at each other.
Imagine a being able to watch your needle move and follow someone who you love, who you never met, who you vow to one day meet.
My dear lgbt+ children who are polyamorous,
Your relationships are not “dirty” or “freakish” or “kinky”.
Being polyamorous is not “a creative excuse to cheat”.
When everyone involved consents to and is happy with the relationship, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.
With all my love,
Your Tumblr Mom
PS: “Wait, what is polyamory?” Polyamorous relationships are relationships that involve more than two people. This can look like “Anna, Britta and Carol are in a relationship.” or “Anna and Britta are in a relationship, Britta is also dating Carol”.
PPS: “How is that different from cheating?” Easy: Anna, Britta and Carol are all aware of each other and consent to this kind of relationship. They’re all happy with the relationship(s). (As opposed to “Anna and Britta are dating, Britta is also secretly dating Carol.”. That’s cheating.).
polyamourous people are good!!! polyamory isn’t cheating!!! polyamourous relationships aren’t inherently unhealthy in any way!
