Im not aromantic by choice. I was born without the capacity to feel romantic love.
But dont you dare say you feel sorry for me.
Saying such a thing is admitting exactly how ignorant you are. There are so many forms of love in the world. Romantic love isnt the only love worth pursuing, and it sure as hell isnt the only love that has great oceanic depths to it.
People in this world, in this age, dont seem to realize how intense, complex, and profound a platonic love can be. So painfully, beautifully, satisfying.
Romantic love isnt the only love worth having. In fact, I have found that platonic relationships are more fulfilling than a romantic relationship may ever be.
Though, that isnt to say I cannot pursue a romantic relationship ever. Even without the ability to romantically love another, the relationship will not be void of love, emotional support, and stability.
After all, the most stable, longest-lasting relationships are built on the foundations of a long-running friendship.
