What If...

What if I bring you into the fold and you're not enough for me?

What indeed.

The same answer if I weren't poly. The same answer I had with Dorian alone when she asked it. The same question I could equally pose to you; what if I bring you into the fold and I'm not enough for you? What if one of us grows? What if one of us finds something in which we long to pursue? What if our expectations change? What if, as we experience life and all it has to offer, our values slowly mutate over time as we learn new things? What if we mature? What then?

This is life in its entirely - without any guarantees - and the question which surrounds every one of us since the dawn of time itself, with every type of relationship ever, agape, eros, philia in all its forms and permutations. The answer remains the same regardless. Those who handle trials and tribulations with love and respect, and those who handle them with resentment and anger. In short, emotional maturity.

Life can be scary and unpredictable. I choose to align myself with people with whom I can experience an array of emotions, steadfastly, while simultaneously enjoying every ounce of life we can collectively squeeze out of it before its over <3
