Katerina, the essay’s governing shift is from collecting information to building a disciplined relationship with it. Your intellectual non-monogamy becomes research method when curiosity is paired with scrutiny, source comparison, and a record of why each text mattered. The NVivo library, literature table, and moving-door escape room show that interpretation requires openness alongside accountability. Your PhD journal is also documenting a quieter recovery of voice, as the researcher becomes more recognizable to the woman who always read widely, questioned deeply, and resisted single explanations.
Thank you Rev. Kevin for understanding the essence of this essay. Reading widely, knowing the person behind the words, deep questioning and synthesize my my understanding is how I develop an intimate relationship with literature and the authors behind the works. Is the only way Iam going gain a deeper intersectional understanding of my topic.
I am glad the openness and how this was written was interpreted as 'growth and reconnection' to a very curious person I have always been.
Comparing intimate relationships with love of literature was something I wanted to try for a while since I am taking such a close look at how content has an effect on the whole person. Reading and writing is such an intimate and relational experience with self.
Yes, full identity, no hiding here, linked to my professional networks, friends and family, so I am completely accountable for what I write on here.
Polyamorous relationship with literature for sure. I remember at uni, sociology was the least favourite topic of my, I usually skipped class and went to campus bar for happy hour to discuss our philosophy for life with friends, I was pretty set on the medical model and psychology, back then.
I definitively didn't see this coming. Thanks for reading and commenting. I wondered if my sarcasm would deter my readers.

First off on hiding identity...🤣 I feel like we're quite simpatico. Maybe moving toward A more polyamorous relationship with philosophy? 🤔
Oh good it landed well! I wondered if it would.
