It has been a while since I have tried to make a post. Over the course of 2020 and into 2021 I had lost a lot of inspiration to write due to depression because of the pandemic and the many harsh realities that it  had brought to life.. But I am trying to come back! 

Throughout 2020 and into now, I have done a lot of reflection on my life and the direction that I have been going, and really looking at and reflecting on my  past. After all, my past and present self has brought me the experiences that have made me who I am today.

I have been trying to grow as a person and partner throughout the last year. I will rightfully admit that I have not always been the best at “being” poly, but I really have  learned so much from the experiences that I’ve had with the various people who have come in and out of my life. And because of these experiences, I am a stronger person and more aware of what I want and I’m looking for in my life.

From where we left off in my last blog post, needless to say David and  my relationship has been successful. I have been with him for eight years now. He was my first poly relationship, and I am proud to say that I am still with him. We have definitely had our ups and downs and made significant mistakes, but we’ve always pulled through and made each other stronger and better people. You will still hear a lot about him in my reflections as he has been an integral part of my life since I have identified as polyamorous.

Grant and I never recovered after his mother left the house. We both held a lot of resentment for each other and for  what happened while she was with us. Josephine basically ruined my marriage with him from the beginning. Grant and I have been divorced for several years now. I am very happy for him however, because he finally got everything that he was looking for. He is married and has a son of his own now. I wish them all happiness!

After the divorce, Grant and Ellie also broke up. Grant had decided to become monogamous with his soon-to-be wife.

Soon after the divorce I met Scott. He came into my life when I needed him the most. When I met him he had arrived at one of my Halloween parties dressed as the Dread Pirate Roberts from the movie Princess Bride. He is now my husband. 

If you would like to hear about anything more about something from past posts, please feel free to message me and I will write a post going more in depth about what you would like to know about!

Like I said, I am planning on taking this blog in a new direction so that I can regain inspiration for writing, because it is so important to me. I plan to talk about where I am in the current, as well as delve into my past a bit more. I plan to talk about my good experiences and great things that have happened within my relationships as well as my challenges with fear of abandonment, jealousy, body image, and dealing with past trauma. I plan to educate people about polyamory, and the fact that being polyamorous can mean something completely different to different people but still revolves around the same concepts. 

I hope you all will continue to read, and enjoy the direction that my blog will be going. I hope that it will become a bit more Interactive, and maybe I can answer some of your questions, or share experiences I’ve had similarly with you. Thank you for being a continued reader of the My Poly Life blog. In my posts to come you will get to hear more about how I met Scott and how our relationship grew!
