"friends don't look at each other like that" well okay you coward you do whatever you want however i WILL look at my friends like they're the most important thing in the world. i love them with my whole heart and i will hold their hand and stare at the stars not because i wanna fuck them but because they mean the world to me and i care about them. fuck you

@ everyone who went through a period of having no friends, who ate alone, who had a point in their life where they were too embarrassed to tell their parents they had no one to play with after school: I love you. I know it hurts and I know it’s hard but it’s not your fault. Things will grow and change. You will find people who you click with and they will love you too. You deserve positive friendship relationships just like anyone else. And if you’re still going through this phase, you’re strong, and things will change for you too. You are not alone, there are people experiencing the same thing you are, find them, you deserve positivity and companionship. Keep your head up.

What I really want as an alloplatonic aro is to have a friendship that is treated like a romantic relationship without anyone questioning it. Like I want someone’s family to know me so well that we’re both invited to each other’s family events the same way a spouse would be invited. I want to be the plus one to every event. I just need a platonic relationship that holds the same weight as a monogamous marriage

'this too shall pass' well can it pass fucking faster??

early stages of friendship are Soooo embarrassing like yea sorry....... it's me again............ i enjoy talking to you and spending time with you....... you can shoot me point blank if you want i dont mind

i HATE when journaling is actually helpful . like oh this thing everyone who does it swears by thats been common practice for centuries is actually common and declared helpful for a reason. WHATEVER

romance does not have a monopoly on love, you know this, that's step one. step two is that romance does not have a monopoly on yearning, on heartbreak. it's easy to think yourself immune, that you've been dealt a hand that'll let you dodge those arrows, but do you know how many ways there are to break a heart? how many ways there are to fall, even if not in love? your heart is just as strong as anyone's, so be kind to it.

don't get me wrong, i love being aro and i love that i'm aro. the good news is that you don't actually miss out on anything. the bad news is that you don't actually miss out on anything

i find it really funny that im a girl now but whenever im into a guy i still think "fuuuuuuuuuck dude im fucking gayyyyyyyyyyyy" internally. like actually that's the completely expected response. not gay at all. or so i thought. as it turns out its still gay as fuck to be into dudes as a transgender woman

some people on twitter are saying this is internalized transmisogyny and i assure you, its not, haha! i was a bisexual dude once, I'm a bisexual woman now. When i was a bisexual dude, I explored my sexuality with men. It felt like "gay" attraction. When i transitioned, that feeling never left! But I don't think it's bad that I kept that feeling; far from it! I'm glad that I still perceive my relationships with men in the same way I perceive relationships with women now. Just going off internal vibes, personally, I never felt like the trappings of the standard "straight" perception of attraction ever aligned with how I felt. I feel much, MUCH more comfortable with realizing that my attraction to others is queer to the core. Much love for the trans people out there who identify as straight in some way now, but I just find more comfort in referring to my attraction as gay now! nothing wrong with that, im just having fun :)

you ever find yourself eyeing somebody you may want to develop a Friendship with and end up feeling like one of those little birds with the big faces on their wings that dance around like HOP HOP HOP
