Trade a secret for a secret. Increase her confidence by revealing one of your own fears. It might feel like you’re dying, but that’s just your heart expanding to take in so much love.

You do great at polyamory when your focus is on meaningful connections with everyone involved.Achilles Heel: Losing others’ trust through inconsistency, failure to commit and a trail of tiny lies.Love Magic: Don’t be an asshole. If you suspect someone will be hurt by your actions, they probably will, no matter how much you rationalize. Be radically kind by owning your decisions aloud.
