Falling into love with fiction. 

My childhood was a collage of library events and worksheets. 

I lived for the days we’d walk to the library, I’d be more so skipping, and pick out new books. 

Each day I’d flow through novels before excitedly chattering about the characters. 

When everyone started falling in love, friends experienced their first heartbreak, I was switching from sci fi to sci fi romance a discovery that changed the WORLD. 

I personally found it illogical,

trying to love a real person when a book would only hurt you in the best ways.

I had friends come to me, sobbing over boys who did them wrong. I knew I didn’t want to suffer like that

Love was much neater when I could close it and pick it back up again whenever I wished. It’s not as easy to DNF a person. 

So instead, I’ll stick to these books, clean sweet romance that won’t scar me or tie me to a life where all I do is endure cruelty.

Hi! I just started randomly watching the movie Spinster (because I finished writing an essay and couldn’t fall asleep) which interested me both because of the lead actress and the title. And I just had to let out some initial thoughts.

I’ve only seen the beginning scene but the stakes are high because it could very well become my new favourite movie of all time or be the worst most painful thing ever.

As it opened with this terror (cw aphobia)

Immediately followed by the hopefully response of

Don’t spoil anything (but also kindly warn me now if this will be a dumb “cynical woman learns about the power of love” type of story.)

Oh to be a morally gray man resting his weary head on the shoulder of another man whom you have a v e r y complicated relationship with

Hey, Fellow People On the Aromantic Spectrum

Can you tell me if this is a common aro/demi experience? When I was younger in like, 3rd grade, I use to do this thing where I was forcing myself to like certain people because they had traits I wanted to find attractive. When I was a kid, I didn't want to be shallow so I wanted to like smart people. So whoever got the top grade in the class, that's who I decided I had a crush on.
