I was curious and agreed, and they told me to think of a

I read this again and don't have the same reaction to it. I think there were some deeper feelings that just needed to get out though. <3

judged by poly people. Where does that come from? What is it that leads you to believe you're being judged? Is it something you internalized somewhere or do you actually see evidence of that happening? What does it look like when it does?

It comes from evidence. From being literally referred to as monogamous, from being treated as not a potential romance, other things. I'm getting more immune to it, but it's definitely there.

Differentiating between potential and actuality: which are you more likely to see? Which is easier for you?

potential. That's why I need the advice on actuality from people I trust to grasp it.

Where does the desire to cultivate new connections rather than putting that same energy into cultivating current ones come from? Like, are there certain needs not being met or gaps in current relationships, or do you like the variety and newness of exploring a new connection, or...? I know we've talked about seeking kindred green hearts and heart connections, where in your current relationships do you feel fulfilled

Waiting for things and people to come instead of searching or chasing them can be so tough.
It must be truly relieving to be able to really live like that, though.

it can be, but this has actually just been pure relief. I was pushing so hard without realizing.

Heather has a really interesting way of reading runes, I am guessing from the name Isa that they are using the Elder Futhark, the Norse Runes as opposed to the English Runes? The Norse Runes have a real unique sense of power to them and are the only divinition tool I've ever felt terribly comfortable using, though they often work alongside my Druidic animal oracle set too. They often give very good advice but clouded in a lot of possibilities that they leave open to you, so rather than getting a straight answer I find you will often be given a set of paths you can follow. I think that may be what's happening here, perhaps the first relationship you need to nourish is yourself

thank you for sharing! I like the mutability you mentioned, I think that adds a layer of meaning for me.
