not aromantic but i believe in their beliefs tbh
it really should be so much more widely spoken about how bad amatonormativity is. ppl buried those discussions under years and years of aphobia and it suuucks. it’s a real thing that impacts everyone. it actively makes so many people live their life in a way that makes them unhappy but they can’t do shit about it because they think it’s normal or even necessary to being a person. you MUST have a partner you MUST wanna get married you MUST view your friends as lesser you MUST be monogamous you must do this you must do that in order to be fulfilled. well maybe you don’t know me as well as you think you do actually. maybe i know what i want and maybe the way i approach relationships should be my goddamn choice and an actual conversation to have with people i’m close to, not an assumption set by society that we’ve all just accepted as how it ought to be
