Mike... Yet another one @Mike@polyamory.social

You are all beautiful people.

All. Of. You.

I know today is a debacle of capitalist misappropriation, but that just makes this even more important:

Be free to love and care in whatever ways you find best.

I hope you all can have that love and care in your lives. And I will still believe in this on February 15th.

There have been a lot of things in my life, especially recently, that have fuelled growth and self-discovery... But I am particularly happy about how much poly has improved my attitude about *people*.

A couple years ago I was bitter, cynical, misanthropic, and antisocial.

Now I just cannot get over how much I care about so many people. English needs more words than just "love".

Hey! I am new to this instance and happy to find even a quiet community of other poly folks. Sometimes it seems lonely out there (which is ironic) being poly in a world that's pretty much overwhelmed by more constrictive relationship models.

I am *really* prone to long philosophical discussions, and sometimes it's nice just to be able to low-key grumble to people who *get it* when I'm salty about my meta leaving crumbs in the sheets, or whatever.

Looking forward to meeting you lovely people!
