Letters To My Love

They always say it takes a village.

In today’s society, we have been brought up to believe that we can and should be capable of doing it all. Having a perfectly clean house, finishing all the daily chores, talking care of children, cooking, not to mention self-care. It really drives me crazy when I hear women say that they are super mom… being a super mom/parent usually means that there is something that is being neglected.

Humans are pack animals. We survived because of the formations of tribes, family, and communities. We used to raise children as a team, cook as a team, hunt as a team. So why do we have this unrealistic expectation that we can do it all on our own… and why do we think that a single person can give us everything that we will ever need?

I’ve dated men all my life, and I am and always will be attracted to men, but I’m also finding that I am attracted to others as well. I’ve never been with someone who was AFAB, so this is a new chapter. I’m realizing that my sexuality is more fluid than I thought it was. I’m opening myself up to new experiences and opportunities. I’m walking in without expectations and attachments, and it’s comfortable. I’m not sure where this will go, but I’m here for wherever this ride takes me. Maybe I’m not meant to have just one partner. Maybe that should be something that is shared, also.
