Day 523 of crying over statistics

Omg a post on Tumblr made me realize that what everyone was telling me was a “crush” on a fictional character or person wasn’t actually a crush. I just thought they were aesthetically pleasing. 
          Basically, I would sit there and go: “whoa. That person is really pretty.” And then I would question if I was actually ace. But the answer was always yes, even with people telling me no. 
          No, I would not like to be in a romantic or sexual relationship with that person/character. I just find their appearance aesthetically pleasing.
          
          My life makes so much more sense now.

@LeafPaws I’m so glad other people feel the same way. I used to think I really did have crushes, but didn’t feel the same as people tell you you should. Well, I guess they kinda were crushes, but not in the same sense as others define it. Thank you for sharing the story about your friend :)

@JR_mint025 this is true. I have a friend that's aro-ace and I can show them a character I've been obsessing over and they look and are like "you're right, that's a really pretty person" but they're still aro-ace
