#estherday

August 3rd is #EstherDay, a day to celebrate and express the non-romantic love for friends and family. Tell the people you love that you love them!! Every day, I am constantly amazed by the endless love and support I feel from my friends and family. My deep and close friendships keep me going through everything life throws at me, and I never want my feelings to go unsaid. To my friends and family: I appreciate you, I'm grateful for you, and I love you. Esther Day was started in honor of Esther Earl, who passed away at the age of 16 in 2010 from thyroid cancer. Her parents, Lori and Wayne, founded This Star Won't Go Out (@tswgo), a non-profit organization that gives grants to families of children with cancer. If you would like to support This Star Won't Go Out, please go to: https://www.tswgo.org/ (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg1BIHWuP0p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love you, friend.

Day #21, The Heart of Aces by various authors. This book is a collection of short stories that explore asexual experiences. I will say some stories I loved! While some other stories took me a good while to read through. This is also the only book I know of that has explicit asexual characters. If anyone has other suggestions please let me know. I’m lacking in the asexual reads department. This is more for the YA crows. Mostly because these stories were written with character that are in college and older teens. I would recommend everyone to take a peek at this book and share their thoughts.
