It’s Okay To Be Too Tired For Polyamory.

It's okay to be too tired for polyamory.

If life is getting you down, you've got lots of stressful stuff happening in your life, you're balancing multiple jobs and responsibilities, or you're dreading the impending doom from late-stage capitalism and fearful at the state of the world, of course you may not have the energy to invest into multiple connections 🙃 be aware of your capacity and hang in there!

There are sooooooooo many reasons why someone might not have the time for polyamory even if they feel that this is what feels most authentic for them, and that doesn't mean they are less polyamorous. Better to maintain your mental health, invest in the things that you feel called to, and have one or no relationships, than to stretch yourself thin while trying and failing to show up for multiple people who you will inevitably disappoint due to your lack of time and energy while fumbling everything else you've got going on. Take care of yourselves 🙏
