#it’s like saying my fave flavor of poptarts is the 2007 Spider-Man collaboration poptarts instead of Blueberry

Trying to label my feelings and attractions feels like trying to catch water with a net. I’ve decided I can’t care about labeling my feelings correctly or else I’m gonna drive myself crazy with defining the different types of love and attraction that I do and don’t feel.

Today I had the thought “That character was one of my childhood crushes” and then I thought “wait, but if I’m aro, I can’t have crushes, right?”. I’ve since realized that I don’t care and I can both be aro and call characters childhood crushes bc it’s not that deep. If someone else tells me I’m wrong, it’s none of their business. I’m not gonna soul-search to find the right terms. Terms are meant to be helpful, and I find it most helpful to not complicate my life by finding the most accurate terms.
