Sorry I just need to vent a little- This will be very messy because I'm just writing down what I'm feeling!
Here's the thing: I love romance. Correction, I LOVED romance. I used to love love, in the simplest form. I still do, but I can't appreciate it anymore.
I'm aroace, more specifically abroromantic and abrosexual, which means I want what I'll never get.
It took me so long to accept that this is what I am, and everyday I still hope that I'm wrong, that I CAN fall in love and I'm just wrong.
Because every time I read romance or smut, I'm reminded of something that I'll never get. That I'll never experience.
It feels like a punch in the gut.
But there's still a part of me that loves romance, so they're constantly fighting. Like wrestlers (sorry, I just don't take my emotions seriously). I hate and love it at the same time.
It's hurting me but I can't stop.
This is also the first vent that I've ever done anywhere, I just tend to bottle up my emotions because making myself vulnerable has only led to pain for me.
But here I am, because I feel like I'm going to explode. I can't keep everything in me all the time and I need to be vulnerable for once.
I can't do this anymore.
I can't do anything.
I just want to die.
I want to stop.
Stop everything.
I've always wanted a storybook romance, the stuff you see in romance novels. In fairy tales. In the Disney movies I was raised on.
Whether it was with a man, a woman, both, or neither, I just WANTED IT. But now I'll never get it.
Now I'll never feel what I've wanted since I was a child.
I want it SO FUCKING BAD but I'll never get it, and I'm at the point where I'm so FUCKING MAD about it.
I'm not even going to look this over. I don't care if no one sees it, or if they just don't care. I just need this.
I can't anymore.
I just can't.
My parents are conservative. I don't feel like I belong in the queer community. I don't belong.
I don't want to be aroace.
Everything would be so much easier if I just...died.
