Aros and aces, honestly experiencing and loving something: man i just love being platonically nice to someone and caring for them! so fun! I love it so much :D
Someone annoying: Yes, being good to each other and walking dogs and washing dishes is Actually What Makes a Marriage Work! Romance won't get you through the bad times when someone's sick or the car won't start! Romance is inessential, like dessert!
Me who deeply desires romantic love: does...does that mean...the romance I want doesn't matter? it's not as important as dogs and dishes? it's less than? it's unworthy?
Every pastor ever at every wedding ever: Marriage is Hard! Romance is a Lie cooked up by Society! Love is Not a Feeling!
Me, crying: but...I want it...I want love to be something I look for and find and take care of...I want romance...I want romantic love...
Tumblr: You know romantic love is a made-up story, right? Written by Society?
Me: But...but it's written by so many different people, in so many different ways, and I'm writing it too, and everybody in the Whole World is telling me my dreams don't matter, that Romantic Love shouldn't be deeply valued and important.
So I'm askin' if it's true.
I'm askin' me, and you, and you, and you.

I have often wondered what the deal is with Ranch dressing, Americans always seem to put in on everything but if it's nowhere over here then how good can it be?
Until someone told me that Domino's big green garlic and herb dip is just Ranch?!?
And if this is true then I ABSOLUTELY understand

can't be yours, can't be torn,
can't feel the good and the bad, nor tell them apart.
can't believe my hands when I reach for you and feel your heart

"There's a good possibility that you have and have seemingly had since childhood... Narcolepsy."
I'm the kind of tired people don't wake up from.
Always thought that.
Always felt that.
"It can't be cured but it can be treated. We're going to need to run several tests. "
If I have always had it, I've already started adjusting.
"What about the dizziness?"
I came here to hear about why I'm dizzy.
Everyone already knows I'm always sleepy.
"That can be explained by the fatigue of narcolepsy or your history with migraines"
I'm the kind of tired people don't wake up from.
I'll accept this potential new diagnosis and the ripping of my mental health diagnosis after more tests.
More tests.
More poking.
More proding.
I'm tired already.
