I woke up today wanting, craving, fiening for LOVE.
But the REAL thing, I am willing to be patient as long as it takes for that real thing.
Man I am so deserving of it, I have been very patient, and healed from a loooot of pain and anguish. Its gonna feel so good when it’s finally my time.
“It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.”
— Nicholas Sparks
You don’t need to be at your best for your life to have value and to be appreciated and seen.
me every day, beginning A Task: agony! despair! woe! every moment on this wretched earth is filled with suffering! death! death! death!
ten minutes later: man, i'm so glad i washed the dishes & i was so normal about it
i save me, i heal me, i got me, i have me.
i think a lot about the loneliness of being aromantic. because it's something that's so profound, right? you're told your whole life that you need something to make you happy, to make you complete, to give you connection with other people, and when you realize you're aro, that's torn away from you. everything you've been raised to want is no longer something that will fulfill you. you are not built to be happy. and it gets better with time, it does! you restructure your world view, bit by bit, and the sting fades, but... i don't think it ever truly goes away. it's hard to express, because i love being aro, and i'm happy being aro, i wouldn't want to be any other way, but at the same time. there is such a profound heartbreak to knowing that you will never be someone's most important person in a society that values romance. that you'll never get the happy ever after that you were promised as a child. and you know you can be happy. but there's a lifetime of amatonormativity that lives in your brain and tells you that you can't.
I’m pleased to come across your profile suggested to me below my timeline, that caught my attention and got me interested in having you as my online companion, I don’t mind showing appreciation for your time by sending you a weekly allowance of $2,000 for your upkeep if you don’t mind, but it has be a mutual relationship, no sexual activity involved because a lot of blackmailing be happening lately and I wouldn’t wanna fall victim, I will be glad to hear a response back from you so we can talk more🤍, you can also reach me privately on this platforms.
