BBWC — Bitterness Is Sweet

The past few days, I have been trying to formulate the words to express how I feel. In my own drama filled way, I wanted something poetic and profound. But what I’ve come up with nothing…

And that’s where I am.

I am no longer bitter. I don’t know what happened. I wish I could say love came into my life and all the bitterness I had been harboring is gone. Actually, I can say love has come into my life. Not the love of a man. No, I have a new found love for myself. I have a new found love for my friends and family. And I have a new found love for relationships.

The BBWC has provided a journey for me. A journey I eagerly traveled. And on this journey, I’ve found some good and some bad things out about myself; and I’ve found some good and bad things out about the people I know.

I have appreciated the support and criticisms from each and every one of you who took this journey with me. There are no words to describe how your reading my blog alone meant to me. And this has been a wonderful journey and I hope my rantings have helped someone along the way. I am sure my experience from writing this blog will propel me to bigger and better things with my writing and thoughts.

Please know that while I will no longer contribute to this blog, I am willing to give it over to someone else. If there is someone out there who is interested in taking the BBWC to another place filled with insightful and fun musings, please let me know.

I wish you all the best that life holds for you…

Peace & Blessings,

Monogamy has been a topic I’ve wanted to blog about for a while. I never knew how I wanted to approach the subject. It is akin to religion, something you don’t bring up in mixed company because so many are so passionate about their position.

If you don’t know my stance, I am anti-monogamy. Why? I never believed it could work. I always believed that when a relationship is labeled as monogamist, then it becomes stifling. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen some relationships where monogamy worked for them, but I’ve seen many more where non-monogamist relationship worked better.

I’ll be the first to say that I don’t judge and I don’t knock what anyone wants to try. I’ve been known to try something at least twice before I decide it is not for me. I’ve tried monogamy and it’s not for me. I’ve been searching for that someone who is willing to be in an open-ended relationship, but I find men are really big on monogamy.

Which leads into some of my beliefs on this subject. I’ve always felt monogamy was designed to keep women from realizing the beauty and joy that sex with not only your partner, but others as well, can bring. I am all for sexual freedom. As a matter of fact, I am amazed and saddened by the number of people who don’t get their fare share of good sex.

So when I started this blog, I did a google search for monogamy and I found several fascinating sites and articles on the subject. What I’ve decided is to do an individual blog on the articles.
 
I hope you stay tuned for some riveting dialogue…
