Hmmm. A Good Question

   
Hmmm.  A question from my last entry I think I should address.
 
I was asked if Rene completes my life then why would I need a third wheel like Heather?
 
I have to say that I hardly consider my friend Heather a third wheel, whether it be in romance or anything else.  I can say that my life was a long way from being complete some three or four years ago.  At that point I was working in a bank at a job that wasn't fulfilling and I had a boyfriend at the time that turned out to be a cheater.  In fact, I walked in on him with his new found love in our bed.  That ended our relationship on the spot.  Believe me, that was absolutely no fun and it really pained me to the core inside and emotionally I was pretty much a wreck, though I tried hard on the outside to pretend that I was unaffected.
                        
Since then, I was reunited with Rene after several years of not seeing him.  He enlisted and was in Iraq for a time.  We had grown apart and I really don't know why.  Rene was my first love going back to Junior High School.  He was the first man I had ever made love to.  Then, somehow, we drifted apart by the end of our Senior year in High school.  I really did miss him and there was an emptiness inside.
 
I didn't have a whole lot of friends in those days either.  That brings me to Heather.  I met her a few years ago when I decided to go back to college and complete my education so I could get myself into a career I found fulfilling and something that I felt I could make a difference in.  We hit it off from day one.  We did so many things together.  I never had a friend like her before and I am pretty sure that she had never known friendship like I was showing her either.  So I guess you can say we were joined at the hip for a while then. 
 
Our relationship has grown through the years and has gotten closer and closer while I had a relationship renaissance with Rene.  I don't throw my true friends under the bus for anything and Rene was aware of that.  What I hadn't expected was that I would end up having a physical relationship with Heather along with the closeness true friendship brings.  I have kind of stated this in the past so I am going to come right out and say it now.  I now consider myself bisexual.  Rene is aware of this and we have been able to work through this and even incorporate it into our lives.  I think at this point I would be lost without either of them in my life.  They both complete me.  They both help to shape who and what I am today, as well as keep my grounded.  I love them both on so many levels.
                        
Romance comes in many shapes and forms.  I guess you can say that I like my cake and I eat it too.  I'm not asking for anyone to morally agree with my lifestyle.  You either accept an individual for who they are or you don't.  I have a belief of live and let live.  I never try to be judgmental about anyone and their situation.  I choose to make LOVE my primary life's goal.  Love, happiness, faith, friendship, being positive, smiling and just going with the flow has been my life for several years now. 
 
I have grown, learned about who and what I am, and have accepted it.  I hope that all of you understand that and like me for who I am.  I do care about all of you that choose to come here and read what I have to say and leave comments.  I read them all, and I appreciate each and everyone of them and you for taking the time out of your day, and to care enough to be here with your heart and to grace my life with your presence.
                        
Ok, I think I won't go on and on.  I do hope that this answers the question and that maybe all of you know me a little better now.  I hope you will all have the most enjoyable of weekends and always keep a smile on your face because it is infectious. 
 
Luv ya!  Ta Ta For Now!

Allison, if someone doesn't accept you for who you are then they can go ahead and suck some monkey balls! : ) I think about you often and read as much as I can (which is a lot lately btw lol). I'm glad you know who you are and glad things are working out well for you.

Hugs

Wow, I thought you were a great young lady, now I now you are amazing! In society as a whole, it's easier to be 'gay' or 'straight'. I could be wrong, but from what I here and read, we are a little more accepting in the UK, about things like that than in the US. Saying that though, I have never had any negative comments on my blog from any readers in the US. Now to admit you are 'bi sexual' takes a lot more guts. Most people think of lipstick lesbians in porno films with fat lips and big tits. No one ever thinks of a normal young woman or a man. You Alison have gone up in my estimations as you have the guts to talk about your sexuality.
What ever you choose to do in bed is your business and no one elses and to have a man that loves you for what you are is even better.
Keep well across the pond and if you choose to write more about this, so be it. If you don't that's also ok.

Well Allison, I'm fairly new to your journal ... actually I'm real new to your journal!  I've never let a persons sexual preferences orientation decide if I like or don't like a person.  What I look for is how the person treats others - now that is important to me.

I can say something, I can relate to an experience you had.  I walked in on my boyfriend and roommate having sex.  Here my bf at the time was talking about committment and I walked in on that!  You can pretend it doesn't matter, that you are fine.  Like you, I wasn't even though I tried to pull off that I was all cool.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm getting to know you.

Hey Allison,  You are one fortunate young(I say that because I'm 52) lady to have that kind of love in your life.  A true friend is someone who accepts you for who you are and I see alot of that here.  Be who you are, it's more about the heart than anything.

All I kept thinking as I read this entry was, "She is just such an incredible woman. Truly a beautiful Lady" and I mean that. You're 100% straightforward, honest and not afraid to be who you are. One of the great things about our lives in this country is that there is no "conventional", or "normal"; we have the freedom to explore what makes us happy, and we have the RIGHT to enjoy it.

You're such a good person, Allison. Good for you for having the character to speak your mind. I admire you a lot, and I think you know that! Luv ya
