A Journey To Authenticity Through Non Monogamy
Non monogamy is an opportunity to live like you want to. But, as it turns out, knowing what you want is hard to figure out.
If you had asked me two years ago what I was looking for from my non monogamous experiences my answer would have been pretty straightforward: I was looking for sexual experiences. Full stop.
Now I am finding that question much harder to answer. Non monogamy, as it turns out, is not just about sex. It’s much more than that. It’s been, for me, a journey of discovery into my sexuality, my sensuality and my needs, wants and desires. This personal growth has enabled me to start living more authentically.
But freeing myself from the life that I thought I should live, living a more authentic life, is scary when you don’t exactly know what you want. Being more in tune with my authentic self is undoubtedly a path to a happier, more fulfilled life. But reflecting on who I am deep-down, and why I do what I do is hard work. It is a shift towards consciousness. A shift towards a deeper connection to the people in my life, to mysef and to the world around me. It means being okay with vulnerability. I need to be aware and awake. I can no longer avoid, hide or ignore the things going on.
