I gotta say when I realised I'm asexual as well as aromantic, my confidence went up significantly, because having this label was not only empowering, but also because it has absolutely strengthened my relationships platonically, specifically with women. Furthermore, this community is very wholesome, other aces I've met IRL are some of the greatest people in the world. I've had some straight friends even be jealous that I can just live life without needing romantic/sexual validation from anyone. Oh and also garlic bread has and likely always will be my favourite food and the fact that it's ours is glorious.

So I only like this week have realised I'm aromantic (All the signs have been there for years) and what really got me to realise this is me rereading the short film a wrote 3 weeks ago and omg

So the film is about a man named Kieran who, through his constant pursuit of professional success, has finally achieved everything he's been searching for with a lucrative brand deal. He goes home to find a woman in his apartment, who insists that she is his girlfriend and goes through a variety of romantic memories. The film ends up getting weird and lynchian after that, with everything Kieran doesn't remember ceasing to exist until his apartment is an empty white void, eventually causing him to realise that within the void is what he really wants, which is completely antithetical to the societal norms of how you're supposed to act. The film ends with him withdrawing his software pitch, and using his fulfilling work ethic to create something he's genuinely passionate about

Yeah
