The heart is a strange muscle.

I had a really interesting conversation with a friend last night.. We talked about how our species, humans have adapted to the demands of our environment. In our current generation, he and I agree that monogamy is a tradition of the past in which people are having a harder time trying to "keep" going along with. Cheaters have become pretty synagamous in 20-somethings relationships and casual sex is a day-to-day occurrence. It's not a good thing, but it's an adaptation. We've evolved, not necessarily for the better, but you can't deny the fact that we've changed as a generation. 

It's honestly made me think twice about getting married and settling down with one person. (As I watch Ross's wedding part 2, ironically enough) Ross having been married to a lesbian and divorced before 30, Rachel ran out on her fiancé ,
Ross married again- someone he didn't love only for it to end in tears again. This doesn't give me much hope for the future of our disgenerate young people. 

So I did a thing. 5am and it'll probably never happen again. But we're just friends through it. Platonic. Nothing meant by it. I don't know, but I've definitely come to think that I'm most likely poly-amorous. I just love people. And I love physical connections. Also, I love attention and being appreciated for who I am. Plus it was nice to not be judged for what I am. It was just a friendly exchange and that's what it'll be
