Let’s Talk About Love

“This should go without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway, partly because I want to, but also because I think you need to hear it. If knowing you’re asexual makes someone see you differently, then they don’t deserve to be in your life. My feelings for you are exactly the same as they were an hour ago. This doesn’t change anything between us.”

“Wipe your face and push what happened to the back of your mind for now. Go do something, like start studying a second language so you can get a fabulous job once you’re fluent. My future sister-wife can’t be poor. Someone has to support my ass.”

I want what books and TV and the world has promised me. It’s not fair that I should have to want sex to have it.

Because they try to sell the idea of true love and forever. I think that’s a really damaging idea. It doesn’t work like that in real life. It’s supposed to be fiction, but people rely on it and make it a standard to aspire to.

Because I’m not sexually attracted to anyone.

No, the correct sentence is I don’t care about sex.

You don’t like sex?

Have you thought about joining any clubs on your college campus as a means to build a support system for yourself? Engaging with others who identify as you do could help bring about a level of comfort that will enable you to speak freely

Both are surrounded by friends who love and support them, but it doesn’t fix their mental problems.

Delaying the inevitable never stopped it from happening.
