I don't know if it's okay sharing stories like this on this subreddit, but maybe it will motivate also someone else to keep studying korean.

I've been seriosly studying Korean for past 3-4 months (approximately since April) from the absolute level zero. Grammar, vocabulary, expressions etc., so far I've been pretty consistent. I do my ANKI, TEUIDA lesson daily, I always prioritize reviewing before aquiring more vocab and grammar.

Anyway yesterday I managed to understand one line from BTS Spring Day song just from listening to it - 얼마나 기다려야?.

While it's probably not the most difficult part of the song, I was still insanely proud of myself that I managed to understand it without looking up anything.

Moments like this just motivate to keep studying!

I (27F) have known that I was asexual & bisexual since I was around 15 years old.

I remember when my friend at the time was trying to figure out her sexuality, but for me I've never really had to second guess it.

Until I started openly talking about it. When I confessed to my mother (I think I was around 20 at that time) that I'm bisexual & asexual, she said she knew about me being bi. However, for asexuality she just dismissed it and said that I haven't met the right person yet.

And it's the same with every person I've ever told that I'm asexual. People either dismiss it or straight up don't believe me.

Fast forward to today, I've been in a relationship for 3 years now. Me and boyfriend are having problems when it comes to having sex, since I straight up don't want to do it and I'm fine without having for 2-3 months. I obviously told my boyfriend about being asexual, but he dismissed it saying that "I can get wet, so he doesn't think I'm asexual".

Overall, I think he's an amazing person and I really like him, we have similar interests and I love spending time with him. But ngl that was the first time he truly hurt me and I started questioning my asexuality again.

It just pisses me off that people think they know better than me if I'm asexual or not. I'm probably not fully asexual, but definitely on the spectrum.

So yeah, just wanted to rant a bit, since I don't really know anyone else who is asexual and knows these struggles.
