Let’s Talk About Love

“This should go without saying, but I’m going to say it anyway, partly because I want to, but also because I think you need to hear it. If knowing you’re asexual makes someone see you differently, then they don’t deserve to be in your life. My feelings for you are exactly the same as they were an hour ago. This doesn’t change anything between us.”

“Wipe your face and push what happened to the back of your mind for now. Go do something, like start studying a second language so you can get a fabulous job once you’re fluent. My future sister-wife can’t be poor. Someone has to support my ass.”

I want what books and TV and the world has promised me. It’s not fair that I should have to want sex to have it.
