When Worlds Collide—And It Feels Just Right
This weekend, I had one of those beautiful moments where the different parts of my life overlapped—and instead of chaos, what emerged was connection.
I’ve been seeing someone new for a little while now. Things really started heating up over the summer, and I call him Janus—yes, like the two-faced Roman god. It’s a fitting name for many reasons, one being our mutual appreciation for words with double meanings— "Janus words." For example: bound can mean tied to a direction or tied with rope. Naturally, that second one has more… playful applications in our world.
Janus is a bottom, and he has a rich, well-established network of play partners and friends. Over the past few months, I’ve started meeting that extended circle, and it’s been lovely. In fact, it was one of his play partners who first introduced us, which only adds to the beautiful, interconnected web of our relationship dynamics.
This weekend, another one of my partners -M, came to visit me in Nashville. At the same time, some of Janus’ friends happened to be in town. I saw it as the perfect opportunity to bring everyone together. And wow—did it go better than I could’ve imagined.
The gathering was casual, easy, and full of surprising connections. Two of the men are programmers. One partner’s wife loves to camp, and another friend’s girlfriend is a devoted LARPer. Conversations flowed. We shared stories, laughter, and even managed to snap a picture to send to Janus. It wasn’t just about introductions—it was about watching comfort and curiosity grow between people who, on paper, might not have much in common. But in practice? It clicked.
This is Kitchen Table Polyamory in action.
In a recent blog post, I shared how my meta and I bonded while shopping for new kitchen tools together. And now, that same meta’s husband is hanging out with my new partner’s play partner. It’s a web, yes—but it’s one woven with care, respect, and mutual joy.
These connections may seem complex to some, but to me, they’re the heartbeat of the life I love. My worlds aren’t colliding—they’re expanding. And I’m incredibly grateful.
If you’ve ever wondered what this kind of interconnected polyamory can feel like, let me assure you: it can be magic.
