Hiya all!
Just a funny side-note to start off with: I joined a few days ago, but I waited to write my intro because I had all four wisdom teeth removed Friday morning. Let's just say the medications have made me a bit out of it. However, my brain has cleared enough now for me to make a go at this!
Y'all can call me Mary Beth. I grew up in a small rural town in Kansas, though my family was not originally from the area. Due to the cliquish nature of the town, my mother had always been treated like an outsider. I recieved similar treatment, though to a much lesser degree. I was lucky enough to have an encouraging mother that always let my siblings and me decide our own opinions of things like religion, politics, sexuality, and where we wanted our lives to go. So between an open-minded mama and a close-minded town, a very open-minded young lady was produced.
I'm starting my second year of college down in Alabama. I've been lucky enough to make more friends that are similarly open-minded. However, when I finally began to realize that my tendencies leaned towards polyarmory (and were not something to be guilty about), I had no one to talk to that had any experience with the matter. I also found that some of my fraternity brothers (I am a member of a professional co-ed fraternity) were not as open-minded as I had before thought. Needless to say, this presented an impasse in my exploration of myself. That second semester of freshman year was really awful and difficult for me emotionally. But I made it through, and I've worked very hard this summer to find that happy Mary again.
I'm still a polyvirgin who is stuck in the closet, but I'm hoping to learn more and spread my wings! (I've already got a supportive mother and best friend on my side that know my secret, so I'm moving in the right direction!)
Anywhoo, thank you for reading!
