What The Salted Caramel Fudge Happened?

Two months ago I was in a very difficult place in my life, my grandma had just died, my panic attacks started getting worse, my insomnia started getting worse, my editor accidentally almost lost five months worth of work, after stuff from my anorexia stage (which is completely over) but none of it had to do with my love life. Then I practically fell through a portal into the polyamorous realm.

My boyfriend, who shall be referred to as Potato, 'cause why not, was kind of starting to invest more in our relationship, yay! I thought that this was amazing and maybe something was finally going right for me, and then, whoop dee doo. I gained (or realized that I had) a crush on one of my best friends, who will be referred to as Taco. Potato noticed me somewhat flirting (somewhat, I'm more of a klutz with words than on my feet and I no longer get worried people when I fall down the stairs, it's the norm) with Taco. I came out as poly-confused and he picked me up and swung me in a circle.

A few weeks later Taco and I were emailing when she asked me out. I automatically said yes, and than asked myself, what the salted caramel fudge happened? If you were to tell 23 year old me that I was not straight, not fully hetero, not monogamous, I would have laughed. Then gray-ace happened, then poly, than heteroflexible. I'm a different person, now.
 
DaveedDiggsIsAngel - welcome to the Forum - and may I say -- what an interestingly worded intro! Best of luck on your new (hetero-flexible) poly journey. Al
 
Welcome to the forums. What an exciting and (potentially) confusing time for you. How is your boyfriend in all this. I take it you and he have discussed polyamory before?

Actually, he and Taco have grown mega close throughout the last three weeks or so, and he came out as poly to me, so I assume a triad is in the near future.
 
I can't help but think of fried chopped potatoes in a spicy beef taco.. eat them all up. Yum!
