i saw this in an art installation in NYC called "the stranger's project" & it made me cry
" i am scared i will never get married.
i think there might be something broken about me. i don't know how to love right.
i can't even go on dates.
i don't know how to be when someone likes me.
i like that they like me, but i don't know what to feel back.
sometimes i think that i might be gay. or maybe asexual. i wish i had a word for what i am. i just want someone else to say they feel like i do. i want to know this is a way other people feel. i don't want to be unique.
tell me there are other people like this. please, someone, be like this too.
i can't feel desire they way everyone else seems so good at. when i was a kid, religion took my sexuality from me & gave me too much shame to ever figure out what my sexuality was supposed to be...
all i want is for someone to love me.
but god–to be loved is suffocating.
i just want to be a lizard sitting on a rock, warmed by the sun.
i want to kiss someone i love.
i want to know what i am. "
