Hey I’m polyam, and I’ve been scrolling through the polyam tag and I’m a little concerned about 2 things
1. The misconception that polyam is inherently lgbt+ and then tagging it as polyam positivity (most of which I noticed were not polyam), polyam is it’s own community outside of lgbt+ but many polyam are lgbt+ (not an exclusionist, I believe you should have freedom in gender identity and sexuality)
2. I keep seeing people ask “how did you know you were polyam”, which worries me because you shouldn’t have an identity crisis over whether or not your polyam. It’s a decision like “well I want to move out of my hometown and into a city”, not that that takes away polyamorous struggles but it is concerning to see. Maybe you struggle to come to that decision and maybe you don’t, but I encourage you to discuss with your partner (if you have one) or look into other people’s polyamorous struggles and relationships
Some people could be happier making that decision, and some aren’t, regardless it’s a lifestyle choice
Hello, I’m polyam, yes I know I rarely post anything and my account looks like a disaster
Polyamory is not inherently lgbt, everyone I talk to that’s polyamorous actually hates that flag for being visually unappealing, the person who made the flag was polyamorous and in the closet and created the flag for themselves and friends from what I read. They didn’t want to use the infinity heart
The infinity heart is a very used symbol in our community, you might recognize it placed over the flag as well, and as stated earlier it’s also been around longer then the flag (people often try to recreate the flag because they hate it so much)
Nonmonogamy is a choice to consensually date multiple people, many people who are monogamous have felt attraction while being loyal to their significant other (I have several family members like this)
Quite frankly due to how many people I see who are lgbt and monogamous believing they can speak on the behalf of people who are polyamorous, I also think it’s better this way.
Quick question: polyam people have a pride flag, so I was wondering if they're inherently lgbt+? They probably are, but no one really talks about it (to my knowledge) so I'm not sure.
(Do not answer this if you're an exclusionist thx <3)
I'm like a wild animal in the sense I try to hide and not be perceived and if I do choose to approach you it is either cautiously and slowly or I'm storming towards you at full speeds making threatening noises
I made the horrible mistake of looking back at all of my posts to figure out what completes this shitshow and now I’m being haunted by “my dog barked and I shoved a burger in my mouth by accident” because I can’t remember this and I’m trying to understand how the fuck that even happens and this is going to keep me up at night
Every once in a great while I post something strange, but only something strange and fandom related but this means months and maybe even years down the road I get a notification someone liked or reblogged it and then I have to stare at this awful post I made and wonder what the fuck I was thinking

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.
