i cannot express to you enough that you literally do not have to get into a relationship. ever. you don’t have to get married. you don’t have to be dating. you don’t have to search for “the one.” you don’t have to have sex. you don’t have to deal with any of that shit if you don’t want to. even if you’re not aro or ace or anything. you can have attraction to people in any kind of way, and still not want to do some or any of it. it’s about what you want to devote your time to and what you find fulfilling or important, not “well people said i had to because that’s what they consider normal behavior.”
