Sun highlighting a colorful Penrose triangle

I have discussed previously how a Penrose triangle is a symbol of polyamorous relationships.

During Pride Month, I wanted to revisit this concept of polyamory as the practice is outside the traditional male-female monogamous relationship scheme. If asexuality can be included in LGBTQ (as I have seen on several occasions), then perhaps polyamory should be too.

Alternatively, Leanne Yau @polyphiliabog proposed in a previous Instagram post that, “Polyamory is a ‘queer-adjacent practice’…[while] not inherently queer in itself (see cheating/polygamy), but practi[c]ing it intentionally is a direct challenge to the cisheteropatriarchy.”

Reference to previous post … A Penrose triangle as a symbol of polyamorous relationships

The Penrose triangle is an optical illusion as it only occurs in two dimensions and not three.

I would argue it is more a perception of reality than a figment of one’s imagination. If unrealistic shapes can have a perception of reality, then avant-grade relationships shall have tantamount sustainability.

My novels explore the authenticity of polyamory, consensual romantic relationships that involve more than two people.

As an engineer, I like to analyze and test systems. As a lawyer, I like to argue alternative viewpoints. As a romance author, I like to explore a world of emotions.

A game of spin the bottle in the right company can lead to colorful adventures.

Taking time to think

April 30, 2023 lizellyn Bookish #amreading, #amwritingromance, #books, #gratitudeattitude

When a tennis match is unplayable, it is the perfect moment to think. Sometimes when plans go sideways or are simply delayed, create the best times to ponder. Rather than burning energy being frustrated by an uncontrollable force like Mother Nature, all that time can be put to better use. Read a book. Write in a gratitude journal. Or write.
