OK this is another random sappy sort of post that I get into every so often. Please forgive me if this induces groaning, eye-rolling, toothaches or any general sort of malaise.

I was just thinking tonight how so many people feel they have just that one "perfect love" waiting for them in life. I hope they find that "one," or make "the one" with the one they are with.

But I am eternally blessed to be able to have "the one" with more than one in my life. The support, the love, the good memories, laughs and the smiles.

With so much said and done wrong about poly- I know that it is right for me. I know that "the one" simply means being ME, and I can do that with more than one person in my life, and they can do that with me.

And that is pretty awesome.

Oh, you've really made my evening (which, had been going terribly up to this point) When my mum was dying, she'd told my Da that there was always going to be someone else out there for him to love, and said the same thing to her young daughter (me) she also encouraged me to search, to find anyone that made me happy and surround myself with them.

...So, I'm distorting her loving message just a little, but, I think she'd be proud to know not only have I been searching? I can love more than one person at once... ^_^ Gotta be an improvement at multi-tasking right?

Warm Regards.

Isara.

*nodding* I am so blessed to have had wonderful poly experiences in my life. I remember reading Heinlein some 30 or so years ago (back when I had to have the complicity of the local librarian to get the books signed out on her card, because I wasn't old enough to be in the "adult" section of the library *chuckles* Yes... I know... that dates me -- but so be it. *grins*) and realizing that, to me, the perfect family would look like one of the group families he wrote about in Friday, or like the nest he wrote about in Stranger in a Strange Land.

I never realized how challenging it would be to make that vision a reality, but it has been worth every single moment, and every frustrated stomp or tear. I couldn't -be- more blessed than I have been to have had the poly experiences that I've had, and I can only hope to have years to share more of this wonderful and mutually uplifting way of being.

Or perhaps (non-poly speaking) there are many "perfect loves" for different periods in your life. People are not static, they are ever-changing, ever-growing (hopefully). "Perfect" for me, would be that person who can help me change/grow and accept those changes. I don't believe there is one "perfect love" waiting and that it can only happen just once in a lifetime. That is a wonderful, romantic notion, but I'm not sure about it.
