any other aromantic people ever thinking about how scary it is being an adult in a world where romantic relationships, in which people generally prioritize their commitment over their friends, leads you into situations where you know if it came to it everyone around you could, like, move far away due to work/life/general circumstance, and you're just kinda the fodder left behind, not because they don't love you or value you, but because you're not the priority. and you can't really get upset at them for it because they're making the choices they need to make in their life to be happier and you're happy about that but you also can't act like you're happy with the cards currently at your disposal and you're always a little antsy about it because, well, yeah sure maybe your friends would be okay with you moving in or living with you if you needed to. and for the sake of sustainability, convenience, or necessity, that may very well be what happens. but would you be satisfied with that? would you be happy? you know that's not really what you want, not like that. maybe you want to be the definite priority. maybe that's selfish to ask for. but your closest friends have life goals that aren't your own, which is fine and you'd never blame them for that or get in their way of getting it, but where does that lead you in the end? when will it be you? when will it be You
