Hey Guys!

I am sorry I haven’t been very active, I have been going through a lot in my personal life that has kept me from being as involved in things as I would like to be. I am doing my best to get my life back on track and get to where I need to be. 

If you guys would like to help out a little, one thing that has been keeping me from being here very often is college tuition issues. One of my scholarships fell through, leaving me with a total of 8,000 dollars that needs to be covered out of pocket. Even with working my butt off, I am barely even making a dent in this. I did start a gofundme if you would like to donate. I promise 100% of what is given will go towards tuition. I wouldn’t be asking you guys if i wasn’t desperate, and even now as I am writing this, I am struggling with asking. So please, only donate if you really want to. If you send me a message here after you donate, I will be willing to promote a blog, or have a one-on-one conversation, or whatever you would like as a reward.

Thanks all for listening, and hopefully you will be seeing a lot more of me on your dash.

Class information!

Hey guys, as I mentioned in my last post, I am putting a class/discussion on poly parenting and differnet styles, and a more in-depth look at my own childhood and how I feel it affected me. If you are interested in it, please let me know. It will be internet based, either through skype or (more likely) rabbit. There will be an actual presentation and then plenty of time for questions and general discussion. Depending on interest, I will teach the lesson many times, capping each one at probably 10 participants. 

The tentative date on this is Saturday, November 20th. I expect it to take between a half hour and an hour and a half, depending on how many questions and how the discussion goes. 

However, there is one catch. Since I will have to take the day off in order to do this, and it takes a lot of preparation to do something like this, I will be selling the slots for 5 dollars. 

If you have any questions or would like to sign up for this, please send me an ask or a message (preferrably not on anon so I can discuss things with you one on one). And as always, please feel free to talk to me or ask any questions you have, my inbox is always open.

In the Works

Hey guys, I am working on making this blog more accessible to you, and put out content that you guys are interested in seeing. If you want to send me a message, reply, or reblog this with questions, topics of discussion, feedback, or suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Also, I am currently working on making a queue to keep this blog up to date. I will be adding my own content to that, as well as finding relevant topics of discussion from people who know more than me. 

One final thing to keep a lookout for. I am thinking about doing one-on-one or group sessions (via skype or some other similar service) to open up a dialogue or answer questions more tailored to your specific situation. Eventually once I have a little more time, I’d like to offer “classes” of sorts on healthy ways to run a poly relationship with kids involved, and other varieties of topics. If you are interested in that, send me a message! I have a few ideas already in the works, I just want to make sure the interest is there before moving forward!

I’ll keep you guys updated on whats going on with the blog, and any other changes you might see. Thanks for sticking around!

Wow guys!

I’m back! Well, I’m still in Germany, but I’m back on this blog! And what a welcome back I got. I’ve gotten over 100 new followers since the last time I logged in! Can you believe it? I never imagined that this would be so popular when i first got started. Thank you all for sticking with me!

As for the few messages I have received since last being on, I am getting right on those! I do apologize for taking so long to get to them, it’s been a crazy time here in Germany!

For those who are at all interested in my life and adventures, i figured I would let you in on why I haven’t been back in a while. Since I last logged in, I have been to Hambug, Berlin, Cologne, Bonn, and (I still can’t believe this one) Disneyland Paris! I have been quite the busy person. I have had such a great experience here so far, and the good times keep on coming. I can’t believe I only have a month and a half left here! I have seen so much and learned a lot of great things, and understood them in ways that I would never have been able to had I not been here. It’s been great! 

As always, I will try to be more active, but please understand that I AM in a foreign country, balancing these great experiences with actual classwork, and before too long I start my internship portion. But I do promise to work hard on this blog

And now! Time to answer some of these asks! Feel free to send me any you have, nothing is off limits! Thank you all!

Hey everyone! I managed to find one minute during my crazy adventures to stop by and say hi! I wanted to share a story while i had a moment since I hadn’t gotten around to it in so long. (Sorry about that by the way, and thanks for sticking around/following me anyways!) Anyways, here i go!

One of the things that has amazed me is how much my parents’ significant others look out for me and consider me one of their own. They really do care about me and my siblings, which is truly a blessing. For example, while in Germany, I ran into a short rough spot money-wise, and my dad’s girlfriend didnt hesitate to offer to lend me money to get on the right track. She also messages me quite often to ask how things are going and things like that. My mom’s boyfriend, while much less vocal about it, cares a lot too. He asks my mom how i’m doing quite frequently, and invites me to events for when i get back. It’s the little things like this that makes all the difference. They aren’t just dating my parents, theyre caring about the entire family. It takes a special person to do that.
