R.I.P., “Jean”. I miss sitting around the kitchen table with you

Jean was one of my favorite metamours and I miss her. She introduced me to the term “kitchen table poly” while offering me coffee at her own kitchen table. “KTP and Parallel Poly” are terms she helped coin, and they caught on far and wide largely because of her. But the terms shifted, as all terms do, and are now often used to refer to something MANDATORY rather than just describing an authentic connection. “We practice KTP so you’re required to spend time with each other.” Jean was very inclined toward KTP in her heart, but would NEVER have tried to impose it on someone else. Sometimes I get mad at the way the term is used now, because Jean isn’t here to defend her original intent. But I imagine she’s laughing at all our human nonsense from heaven.
