The 'halaman' and being aroace

I've been thinking of how Filipinos use the word 'halaman' (meaning plant) to refer to themselves / other people who are not interested in romantic feelings / relationships / sex. Sometimes it's also casually thrown around by allos when they're heartbroken or are disillusioned by romance, as in 'halaman ako ngayon' (roughly ‘I'm taking a break from relationships right now’ - but literally 'I'm a plant now').

As someone in the spectrum, I've always strongly identified with the term - and still do up to this day - even while being in a relationship with someone who is not aroace.

The coincidence is not lost on me - Koisenu Futari has consistently revolved around vegetables from Episode 1, and here we are at Episode 7! Is it a cross-cultural aroace thing? I'd love to know everyone’s thoughts!

May isang batang napadaan sa hardin na maraming halaman at bulaklak. Nagandahan siya sa bulaklak kaya niya pinitas. Pero bago pa niya nagawa yun ay natusok siya at nasugatan.

Pag uwi sa bahay tinanong siya ng nanay niya kung napano siya at bakit may sugat. Sinabi ng bata na gusto niya lang kunin yung bulaklak. Kinausap siya ng nanay at sinabi na, "bakit mo pipitasin ang bulaklak? Mukang okay naman siya dun sa hardin. Hayaan mo lang siya doon na yumabong at mamukadkad. At dapat magpaalam ka sa may ari. Hindi ka basta basta pwedeng kumuha ng bagay na di naman sayo."

Tidak, kamu bukan sebuah buku dan kisah kita bukan sebagai halamannya. Karna mencintaimu tak akan pernah benar-benar selesai meski usia salah satu dari kita akan lebih dulu usai.

Dari Beranda

Di bunga itu belukar liar menjalar

Di dahan itu akar melilit berujar

Di daun itu Kelakar berujung mekar

Di halaman itu semua merangkul harap Menyelimuti bayang yang terkapar.

How can someone as beautiful as you be insecure?
