No cause, the A in LGBTQIA+ stands for us. And the rest of her account is just homophobia. The people in the comments calling people like us "freaks of nature" and saying they dated people like us and we're "uptight"

And shes obviously under educated when it comes to the aroace as it shows in her caption. She calls straight people like her 'normal'.

We are normal too, we're people and we are apart of the LGBTQIA+

Animals are literally a huge part of nature, they mate once and done just to reproduce. They are usually together for companionship not sex and if not companionship they are alone, so by her logic we'd be more normal then her when it comes to natures rules.

I dont think anyone is gonna care about this, but im proud of myself so imma talk about it, i cleaned my room for the first time in three months today! Well i didnt finish, but my clothes are in my drawers and i can see my desk and i can walk on the floor without steping on something and i took out the trash!

And it was so weird for a bit after i was done, beacuse i felt so proud for doing something so simple. And then i felt mad at myself BEACUSE it was so simple, and then i remembered something. It wasnt. For three months it wasnt simple, beacuse its not just cleaning my room, its getting up from my bed, it swalking and picking things up and moving around, and for a long time now, that wasnt simple, it wasnt simple, beacuse i was tired and sad and lost and just wanted to lay and sleep and maybe never wake up. And thats the thing! I got up! I got up and cleaned some of my room and i walked and i listened to music and for a bit i was fine.

And thats the point! Im proud of myself, not beacuse i did something simple, but beacuse i did a hundred litle things that are hard for me right now.

And if you did something today, that you find hard to do, regardles of how small or simple it is, then i am proud of you to! I am proud that you got out of bed! I am proud that you ate something! I am proud that you walked around! I am proud that you cleaned up something, even if you didnt finish! I am so proud of you! Beacuse you did it! And thats all that counts :)

Shout out to all oldest daughters, and oldest siblings who have been tasked with the responsibility of keeping the family together and putting out fires and keeping things running smoothly to the point where we have forgotten what it feels like to take care of ourselves and taking a day off or taking a nap or buying ourselves a coffee feels inherently selfish and wrong and we're working on loving ourselves the way that we should have been our whole lives, because our family and also religion taught us that if we are not of value to anyone unless we are of service, so we've been conditioned that we don't matter and everyone else does and we're trying to deconstruct and unlearn that toxic process

Yeah......*deep breath* it's a lot but we've got this ❤️
