Sometimes lately, I feel like my 14 year old self again. It was around that time that I was struggling to figure out why I felt such a strong attraction to other girls. Were those the same “crush” feelings that I had for certain boys? What was going on with all the sexual “games” being played at sleepovers with female friends? As it turned out, I found myself quite happy with a girlfriend instead of of a boyfriend, and there’s a word for people like me: I’m bisexual. Now, that doesn’t count as one of my deepest darkest secrets. Yes, I hide it from my conservative religious family, but nearly everyone else involved in my life knows this about me.
So, how is that relavent to today? Recently, I’ve discovered the word that might explain some other sexual and love-related emotions in my life. I’ve discovered “polyamory”.
