This also another I don’t vibe with the whole concept of ‘romantic relationships’.
If our whole bond is only built on these feelings that aren’t unique, can easily fluctuate or entirely fade, or are justifiable reasons to disrespect or dispose of a person, i don’t fucking want it.
Love (read: romance) doesn’t inherently equal Respect, Healthy forms of Communication, Patience, Understanding, Compassion, Conflict Resolution Skills, Emotional Stability or Support, Self-guided Introspection, Integrated Intuition, Safety from Harm, or Relationship Security/Longevity.
My point, if it wasn’t obvious, is that ‘romance’ or ‘romantic feelings and/or relationships’ doesn’t come with all the pieces required for happy, healthy, constructive relationships.
When we are looking for intimate connections of any kind, our feelings are important, but those feelings don’t make a poor partner, a good one; they cannot alone make a toxic relationship healthy.
It is disrespectful to yourself to partner with people who have been cultivating the skills or qualities in that list above. It is a form of Self-Harm to disregard your wisdom and better judgment for the sake of feeling ~special feelings~
“One day you fall for this boy. And he touches you with his fingers. And he burns holes in your skin with his mouth. And it hurts when you look at him. And it hurts when you don’t. And it feels like someone’s cut you open with a jagged piece of glass. And then you realize you always felt that way.” (Fragments, by ed-ingle)
fuck all romance except for whatever barack obama and harry styles had going on

This is by no means an effort to mass-educate, or make an “all-inclusive” list (that doesn’t exist, btw). It’s me sharing with other nonwhite teens things that have helped me understand myself and show that you are able to reconnect with and embrace yourself. In summary, this is a list of stories by POC who have learned to love themselves and their backgrounds.
