Things I'll Miss

I love where I live. For years I chafed at living here, only seeing the less-than-stellar aspects of this place. But now? I love it. And I'm leaving. These are things two I'll miss: this amazing geography and the City Library.

Edits, Transitions, and Evolutions

I set this whole blog aside for the better part of a year. When I re-read some of the stuff I've written, especially stuff last spring, I have to fight the compulsion to delete posts outright. Like the Commitment post from a year ago. Why would I feel compelled to delete? Because where I am, the ways I identify, how I live my life - these things shift. So while I'm not going to take the time right now to write about polyamory, commitment, and how I fit within those things, I did feel compelled to say that bottom line: I'm committed to being myself. To looking myself in the eye in the mirror every morning. To living as honorably as I know how.

And you know what? Celibacy isn't so bad, either. If there's anything I've learned for sure this past year, that would be it.

I've always loved this quote by Ntozake Shange:

i found god in myself & i loved her
i loved her fiercely
