Going Against The Grain

Figuring out what you've been taught that you should want and believe in, and distinguishing that from what you actually want and believe in, is hard.

Navigating big changes and sitting in the discomfort of uncertainty about the future is hard.

Doing unconventional things that mean you get unfairly judged and shamed by other people is hard.

But if you are exploring what feels most authentic to you, in the end the struggles will be worth it.

People really underestimate how hard it is to love in a way that is so heavily stigmatised. Polyamory is hard because going against the grain is hard. You can do it!
