Thinking Too Hard and Running With Scissors

Something I've been thinking a lot about lately is the fluidity of human experience, as far as how we identify ourselves. This would encompass not only gender, sexuality, and relationship style, but just our preferences in general. Could be music genre or clothing style - though those are much less likely to attract the censor of the world at large than the first three mentioned.

I've been accepting of other people's fluid journeys through life basically since leaving the cult I was raised in. What I had never really done was allow myself that same fluidity. Instead I assumed that what I thought I new about myself at 19 would never change. Things like being heterosexual.

19-year-old me had no idea how much a person could continue to grow and change after becoming an "adult."

19-year-old me thought she had herself figured out, that she knew what she wanted.

19-year-old me didn't know shit.

33-year-old me is a bisexual relationship anarchist that prefers solo polyamory. Or, as I've seen popularly... SoPoRA.

Now if only I can eventually post something like this without feeling the need for the relative anonymity of this blog.
