i say this to myself every day, because my sexuality is one of the most misunderstood sexualities out there. i discovered that i'm ace when i was 17. i was weirded out by the fact that everyone around me doesn't just fall in love, but gets sexually interested in someone as well. everyone except me, of course. everyone would tease me and make fun of me because i avoided sexual topics and i was disgusted to hear someone talk about it, that i seriously started to question my sanity. what if something's really wrong with me? i fall in love and just wanna cuddle like... seriously? so, like every other mortal, i googled it 😂 "is it normal to not feel sexual attraction and be disgusted by sex" and the first article was the Wikipedia one - asexuality. i guess i wasn't crazy after all, in fact, i was so happy that i'm not confused with myself anymore! soon after that i came out as ace in public, and to my family, and only my mom accepted me like that. and yeah, people call me a plant but hey, flowers are plants and flowers are pretty so if anyone ever calls you a plant, they actually called you pretty! say "thank you" to them and stay bad💜 we put ACE in GRACE!💜💜💜
