Is the best thing in our lives

No problem! Happy to help. Asexual and aromantic are not interchangeable. The easiest way for me to explain this is probably: Picture a book written for younger teens, like KOTLC or Percy Jackson. The romance in these books is very chaste and not very suggestive. The characters are probably experiencing primarily romantic attraction. Aromantic people don’t really fall in love, but can experience sexual attraction. Alloromantic is the opposite of aromantic. Now picture a book written for older teens or adults, like Fourth Wing or Colleen Hoover books (I assume, I haven’t read them). Spicy books. Not a lot of simply romantic, cute, cuddly scenes like in KOTLC. These books are really mislabelled as romance novels, and the “romance” in them is based on sexual stuff. Asexual people can experience the cute cuddly stuff, but don’t really experience sexual attraction. It’s not necessarily people thinking sex is gross - many ace people actually enjoy sex - but there isn’t that… pull??? To have sex with people??? Idk I’m ace through and through. Allosexual is the opposite of asexual. Sorry for the long-winded rambling, hope this helps!

Genderthil - gender is fluid between female, feminine, nonbinary, and masculine identities, but never or rarely fully male Panromantic - romantically attracted to people regardless of gender Aroflux - fluctuates between alloromantic and aromantic Asexual - don’t really feel sexual attraction

I will choose her happiness over mine every tiiiime

Just try things out and see what sticks! I started out identifying as a straight, cis greysexual and have ended up at genderthil panromantic aroflux asexual. Find what seems right. If you have friends who will support you and are questioning your gender, you can try asking them to call you [pronouns and/or name] to see if it feels right. Also, research different genders and sexualities. A few years ago I didn’t know asexuality existed. Google can be a lifesaver (but make sure you’re using a safe device, possibly in incognito mode). As for knowing for sure, as Koloss said, sometimes things just snap, but if that’s not what happens to you, don’t worry. Always remember, however you choose to identify, you are valid, and you are just as “qualified” as anyone else. It’s not awkward, don’t worry, we’re happy to help. Good luck and have fun!

Wizard of Oz, and Aunt Em Thanks! Wow. Break a leg! Yes, they’re awesome, and definitely the best person for the role.

We have one of those theatre horror stories with our spring musical. 30-35 people audition, the cast list is (for some reason) posted at lunch on a Monday, and by 2 weeks in a third of our cast has quit, mostly because they were mad a sophomore got the lead role. Fast forward to 3 weeks before the performance, one of the leads (a minor one but still) quits. I was promoted to her role, memorisation is fun. Tech week just started, we’ll see how the rest of the musical goes!

Do you know whyyy?

I know my sister like I know my own mind

That doesn’t wipe the tears or the years away

I lived only to read your letters

Archaeology yay! 17.8/17

It was an act of political sacrifice!
