This isn't the story I set out to tell. I believe in marriage. I believe in commitment. I believe in happy endings. I even believe in polyamory.
Even since before I knew I knew I am gay, I've always argued that sexuality is genetic or at least in some way woven into us deeper and more intricately than we can control. What I hadn't realized or ever expected is that it's also fluid. It's alive and breathes and grows and moves with us. It can lie peacefully asleep or start violently awake in the night and change our worlds forever. It can migrate and evolve and take us places we've never known before or even sometimes wanted to go in the first place.
