Aroace thoughts/rants

Is this okay?

So as you probably know in writing a book and the two main characters are aroace/a-spec somewhere along those lines.

In the beginning one of the characters doesn't really recognize those feelings but they are there and then by the end he will recognize them and know they're okay to have and like he'll be comfortable and like confident? I guess in like the fact he doesn't have to have romantic feelings for people and that romance isn't "better" than friendship.

So in the beginning he like things this thing I'm gonna add in here and I just wanna make sure it doesn't come across the wrong way. Like I know I'm aroace so it's not like I can really be aphobic but also I feel like that's like a dumb thing to say because maybe I can be? I don't know anyways this is the part I'm talking about

It's been over twenty years since they've gotten together, you'd think by now I'd be use to it but I can't shake the feeling that Liam just doesn't want to make time for me anymore. I get that Gabby is his girlfriend and I'm extremely happy for him, but I was his friend first. Now it feels like we're worlds apart because we're just friends but they're true love, something I have never felt and will never feel for anyone, at least not like that.

So yeah. And I'm not even sure if this will make it in the final version of the book because it seems out of place where I have it right now. But also it fits but doesn't. I don't know.

But like I have this idea where at the end he realizes "true love" isn't always romance so yea he'll never feel "true love" like romance but true love in a platonic way.

The part that feels out of place is "Liam does t want to make time for me" because he wasn't even asking Liam to hang out he was about to go hang out with Rue so maybe I'll add this paragraph closer to the beginning when he actually is trying to hang out with him? Or just another time when he's trying to get Liam to hang out with him yeah. Yeah I think I have to move it which you don't really know about now because you don't know the text surrounding it but it's okay anyways yeah.

I just wanted to make sure it didn't sound stupid or give the wrong idea about being aroace or something.

Anyways that's all. Thanks for reading. Wishing you all a wonderful day/night and best of wishes for 2024 🫶🏻 take care 💚💜
