it ain't the being alone...                           you know i'm good on my own...                                                            it's more the being unknown

#it's been a weird day #and like nothing much even happened but that's just the thing #i had planned on running all these errands but i woke up with a headache so i decided to spend the day resting at home #and the time went by slow and pleasant #but without those errands to distract me it left my mind open to do all this reflecting #maybe i shouldn't be listening to hozier right now #or maybe it's actually okay to just let myself feel all these feelings without rushing to ''fix'' them #hozier #music #l

a myriad of ridiculous things i have said/done today for your entertainment purposes:

said i would skip class for a corn chip (i have never in fact seen a corn chip before)

"i'm paranoid i'll lose a sock to the sock goblins in the microwave" i meant to say washing machine nevermind

dropped and broke a glass bottle of balsamic vinegar and stunk up my kitchen

#anyway keep scrolling nothing to see here #just me losing my mind as usual #i had 6 hours of sleep (not sufficient) and drank an ice tea full of caffeine oops #it's been a weird day

Do you ever get cold and look at the pathetically minuscule hair on your arms standing up and laugh at the futility of their efforts?

It's been a long time since I've started thinking my parents are aromantic. Both of them never had a romantic relationship in their life aside from the arranged marriage. Neither wanted particularly to get married but it was the 90s in conservative families, who thought the rest of the siblings can't get married till the eldest are so decided to marry them off to a family friend's eldest child in the same situation. They've never expressed any romantic attachment to each other or any such past in my presence or any other family member. They've explicitly said how they 'don't get all the love shit on tv', especially how two separate aunt and uncle of mine eloped.

But they love each other. You know how I know?

My mother loves this vegetable that both me and my dad hate. But every winter, like clockwork, he'll bring it so she can cook the dish, and eat it without a single complaint because she loves it. My father is often forgetful, so my mother makes sure all his things are in place, puts the wallet and car keys on a hook right next to the door so he never misplaces them.

My mother has a temper, my father is one of the most patient people I know. I love my mother, but not enough to bear her often unjustified rage. But my father is. Calm, patient, gentle. My father does not always understand me, my emotions, my hurt, and often says things that upset me in the moment. Never intentionally, just, offering me solutions when I really need advice and vice versa and other such things.

My mother, my hotheaded bad-tempered strike-fear-with-three-words mother, explains patiently what he did wrong, how he should have reacted. Pulls me aside and tells me to forgive him, to understand, to let it slide. I've seen my mother break down when my father got sick few years ago. I've seen my father lose his mind when my mother started getting sick with thyroid.

My parents love each other, and I have long suspected not in a romantic way. There have been too many hints to miss, and they're too personal to mention here. But I think they're soulmates, because there is noone else who would fit.

I have never dated. There have been various reasons, most notably would be my reluctance to settle for mediocrity. I'm not easy to love. I have baggage. I have trauma. I'm a neurodivergent who needs a lot of allowances when it comes to a relationship. I'll forget important dates, I'll react impulsively. But I will not accept someone's tolerance just because. I will put in the work and try my bestest, and in return I will have love and acceptance, and love and acceptance only. If not, I have myself. And I am enough.

I think a lot of it generated from the fact that my parents are not romantic soulmates. It's a hard truth to accept for some people, I personally don't relate. You see for me, love is not the gooey stuff you see people talking about. Love is belonging. Love is turning off the ac in the middle of summer heat because the other one is fresh out of a shower and catches cold easily. Love is keeping their bookshelves stocked up because they love to read. Love is doing their share of chores before they wake up because their knee pain got bad but they'd never say it out loud.

My parents caused me a lot of bad days, to be frank. And I'm still learning to forgive them for that. But I'll forever be grateful to them for giving me this clarity about love, so if I ever choose to pursue it, I'll know who to let in and who to keep away.

Say It With Your Hands - Chapter Three

Name stood nervously in his room while Prim inspected the posters on his walls. They had been texting almost nonstop since they met. It was nice to talk to someone who understood without Name feeling pressured to explain himself. Em was the only person he knew that never once pressured him to speak so far. And as much as he loved Em for it, he still didn’t understand. Prim though, she understood. Though their reasons for not speaking were different, the two of them immediately understood one another.

Name knew that Prim recently lost her father and Prim knew he used to be bullied. Name knew that Prim loved her brother more than anything in the world and he knew her favorite food was anything with instant noodles. He knew her favorite band. Though their friendship was just beginning, they had clicked instantly. This was the first friendship since Em that felt easy. But Em was…complicated. 

Name hadn’t told Prim about Em yet. He wasn’t sure he was ready. It was hard to admit to himself how much he missed Em. If he acknowledged it, he would have to acknowledge the gaping hole in his heart that used to be full of Em’s presence. Name knew that what he felt for Em was something different than friendship. His feelings for Em ran deep and uncontrollable. His feelings lay beneath the surface of the murky waters of his heart. The tendrils only occasionally breaching the surface when he wasn’t paying attention.

“Who’s this,” Prim signed and Name looked at the photo she was holding up. It was a photo of him and Em together. The photo he kept on his desk so he could look at it when Em had a minute to talk to him. Name would listen to Em’s voice, look at the picture, and pretend that Em was there. Name swallowed. He had avoided this subject while texting, but he knew that once Prim came over, Em would inevitably come up. Em’s influence was all over his room. Name had braced for it, but he still wasn’t sure he was ready to dive into everything.

“That’s my best friend, Em. He’s away at college right now.” Prim nodded, knowingly. “You must miss him,” she signed. Name simply nodded in response. He swallowed the lump that had formed in his throat. If Prim noticed the sadness in his eyes, she didn’t show it. She looked at the photo for another minute before putting it down and signing, “When you’re ready to talk about it, I’m here to listen.” Name wasn’t surprised that she had picked up on whatever it was that lurked within him. Prim was one of the sharpest people he’d ever met. Name nodded again and offered her a small smile. Prim smiled back, “He’s really cute. You have good taste.” Name laughed and nodded again. Prim nodded towards the computer, “Do you have any good games? My brother’s boyfriend is kind of a professional ghost hunter so I’ve gotten really into horror games. Wanna play something?”

do you ever meet someone and you’re like. holds their face. your self flagellation does not make people want to be nice to you. it makes everyone feel super awkward and in turn makes people not want to spend time with you. it is okay to ask from reassurance but i am a stranger at a desk making $11/hr. i’m not in the college i work at. i don’t know how to comfort you because i don’t know anything about you. please get a friend
