some things recently came up and it has me thinking a lot. i'm not sure who else to ask this? the person i'd normally talk to is... part of it.

is it possible to have romantic feelings for more than one person at the same time? does that make you a bad person? i never had to consider it before because i thought everything would be simple, for me at least, but now it isn't so simple and i'm not

sure what to do

i don't want to hurt them

my dad always used to tell me when i was little, 'with love comes loss', and that it might hurt, but... he'd also say that, too, that it was still worth it

you know, in a way, it kind of is? in more ways than just this. not that i feel like i need freedom from the girl i'm with back home, we chose to be together, but other stuff.

[metalcrusher]

Oh, no. It's clear that you never wished for liberation from your beloved! I understand. If you did... This wouldn't be a concern of yours. Besides. As much as Aefenglom is a freedom, you didn't choose to come here.

So I know you wouldn't have to fret if you suddenly returned home, about this arrangement... But you should prepare to explain if she shows. She deserves that. But you deserve to live in the here and the now, not somewhere you're not.

[thisisamazing]

no, none of us chose to be here. but from the beginning, it seemed more productive to make the most of my time here. i just never thought that would involve something like

well

all of this.

oh, of course, if she shows up here i'd never dream of trying to keep this a secret from her. we tell each other everything. that was never a question. but... thank you. for the thoughts.

[metalcrusher]

Naturally. I wish you the best in your pursuit of true love, darling! Even if you have multiple true loves. Without all of the worrying about right or wrong... It must be a wonderful feeling.

[thisisamazing]

haha i don't know if he'd want me to go around calling it true love or anything at this point, but

yeah. it's a good feeling. underneath the, you know, terror that things won't work out.

[metalcrusher]

Such is the turbulence of love. And the thrill of it! Don't worry so much, beautiful. Relish it instead. The present's no time for hang-ups about something that hasn't even happened.

[thisisamazing]

really? because

because this seems like exactly the right time for hang ups. it's a little hard to relish how awkward things have been since i first found out, i really don't want to keep going like this if everything goes wrong.
