Looking back, I understand it better now. I was being taught how to be “attractive.” And I was being taught how to be alloromantic and straight.
All in 2022
advice to my 17 year-old self
rehearse your own desirability to yourself, you are not broken / your love is powerful, most people have never experienced it
Normal
For a time, it made me feel worse, a freak in all parts of my life. I wouldn’t get my happily ever after, someone to spend my days with, someone who was mine and no one else’s.
Looking for colors
Don't tell me how much I have to want something / or what it means to me.
I'll Race You to the Moon
Realizing that I don't feel any sort of attraction towards people was a tough pill to swallow, I spent a long time thinking that I was some heartless robot and part of me still believes that.
TRISHNA/DESIRE
There is or isn't every worldly desire / in us / but an internal echo / that we identify as our very own.
Artemis
She holds nothing else but the freedom that she stole from a world that would never have given it to her willingly.
