You know, I'm happy with the "nurturing family" theme that this year had. I'd really like to continue that one. I like the networked, DIY, family that I've been building and I want to keep building it -- keep moving towards the "big poly family" fantasy I've had for so long.
That fantasy... It makes me smile. I've got these pictures in my head of what it would be like: A big house, with lots of rooms and a huge kitchen and shared living spaces on a sprawling plot of land. Me, my partners, and their partners, and any kids any of us might have, all living together. Metamours coming and going as they please -- a sort of ebb and flow of entanglement. Everyone supporting one another, caring for one another, working together on things. No one would ever have to be alone, or shoulder any burden by themselves, but there would still be plenty of space for anyone to get privacy when, and if, they wanted it. Everyone allowed to be completely comfortable and accepted for who they are...
I know, a pipe dream, right? But that fantasy keeps moving closer to reality, bit by bit. I'd like to keep going in that direction, even if it's at a snail's pace.
def need a bigger living space ;) I remember you wanting a compound as far back as like 20. Then it was an artistic community (though, maybe you weren't sharing all the facets of your goals then)you are a community person who needs more community. :)
