Curious

[DNK]

Currently, my veg garden and long-term partner reside within a few hours of Atlanta, GA, USA (in the hills and forests). Though I would prefer it to be defined as transient (I am relatively stationary) and spend time in other parts of the world. I am curious, love exploring both ideas and nature.

I see deep connection as a joy to revel in, fully connecting to those around you. Kev and I are interested in building a deeper community with others and potentially developing long-term relationships built on connection, intimacy, and respect.

I am generally introverted and have primarily been in long-term monogamous relationships, partly because of social norms and expectations of others in the relationship and partly because it seems like a lot of work to interact deeply with many people. I really enjoy my own company.

I struggle with labels and defined groups. I know definitions have value in communicating clearly. I am interested in understanding what polyamory is to those in the community. I fundamentally believe we are all sovereign entities, fully responsible for our actions and inactions, and a world experienced with truth, depth, fullness, and open relating is much more rewarding than one of pretense and conformity.
