I 27f live at home with my mother and grandma. My mother has officially given me a month to move out. I am recently divorced and am in debt from previously being homeless when she kicked me out prior. I have a full time job ( working for the local gov) and am barely making it by, I’ve applied to HUNDREDS of part time work. I literally have no fucking idea what to do. I have no family to help me, I have no friends to lean on. I have nothing and no one and I am at rock bottom, again. I feel like nothing at this point.

Hiiii! I recently saw a post where someone was asking “where are the happy stories of polyamory?”. I took some time to think if and how much I wanted to share about my journey!

I 27f (pansexual and solo polyamory) am in a polyamorous relationship! I’ve been dating my partner Uno28M since earlier this year and my other partner Dos30F (hehe silly names btw) around the same time I met uno! I see Uno quite often, we enjoy spending time outdoors, watching clone wars, and talking about big serious world things and trying to find balance with those thoughts! Dos and I enjoy watching movies together, playing games, and we see each other typically once a week (due to distance). Dos has a partner28M, and they also have a partner! We’ve all been on a summer cabin trip this year, and have enjoyed all being in the same space. The feeling on community is so large when we are all together. It is exactly the feeling I have been chasing when I opened my heart to polyamory and that feeling is becoming the most comforting thing!
In my eyes I have so many people that love me and so many people that I love as well! It’s silly, this past weekend I had a “Summer Sonic” party at my home. Both my partners came, Dos’ partner also joined and they all just wanted me to have a successful event. My mother and brother recognize both my partners and welcome them with open arms (this part is big and deserves a story in due time). I didn’t realize how taken care of I actually was as the time passed. I had eaten without getting myself food, I had drinks without refilling my cup, and not only that but ALL my friends that were introduced to my new relationship style had such kind words and saw that this dynamic can and is working for me.
Lots of reflection after this weekend. Lots of time to appreciate that I can be who I want to be. Also just the fact that I am pushing past the societal norms with so much support. I’m so lucky right now.

With that being said, appreciate the small moments that your true self gets to shine, because it’s not always easy to shine in every facet of your life. Continue to look for spaces that you feel comfortable to introduce you!

Ok I’m crying now, bye🫂🖤
