Marylin Monroe was asexual. Pass it on.

Also have this edit I made:

💕Can you even CONCEIVE how much I suddenly love them???💕

I think they were strolling around town after having a drink together. And that ends in a little cuddle!😂💕💕💕

Sharing a recent commission that holds a very special place in my heart 🥹🫶

🖤💜 Happy international asexuality day! 🖤💜🐀

where is all that brain power going.

The phrase “in love” can be connected to a bunch of things, often seen as romantic but also like when people get really excited over something beautiful or adorable, for example people “falling in love” with a cute baby, a cute animal, a beautiful sunset or moon or mountain or whatever.

Anyways in regards to falling in love with a person, it does not have to equal romantic feelings. It can sometimes, but not always.

This is what “being in love” with a person feels like to me, it’s this happy, contented, peaceful, at-home feeling I have with someone and knowing that there’s the unconditional love and support between us. Is it romantic? Not for me. For me, romance and “being in love” are two completely different things. They can overlap, but they don’t always.

What bugs me tho is that when you say you’re in love with a person, people assume it’s romantic. Not necessarily! If I say I’m in love with a full moon, are you assuming I’m romantically attracted to the moon? Like if you can be in love with things other than people and it’s not romantic then, why does it have to be romantic when you’re in love with a person?

(I feel like I’m kinda rambling and just saying nonsense so in my defense it’s 2am as I’m typing this lol)

Very much, agreed! I feel like saying that being 'in love' can only be about romance is so limiting, love is so much more than romance, and so are ways to be in love.

*takes a deep breath*
