I think I probably should have realized it sooner considering how many times someone has to point out that a girl was flirting with me because it absolutely didn’t register
Gabiluzbad
Or how, on the rare occasion that I did notice, I would always just kind of awkwardly freeze up and not be sure what to fro anymore
Gabiluzbad
What to do*
Gabiluzbad
I dunno why I made this plurk

Sometimes you just think things

sometimes it just takes a while to click

I think I knew for a long time but didn’t want to admit it

Figuring yourself out is complicated.
Gabiluzbad
Because if it was true then that’s admitting that I can’t be happy by doing the thing everyone else does to be happy

I tried to talk about it with mom once but she did not understand
Gabiluzbad
She was just like “but if you don’t want to get married what are you going to DO with your life?”
Gabiluzbad
Why do I need to do something with my life?
Gabiluzbad
It’s my life fuck off
Echo
Uh. Live it, presumably?
Echo
Have hobbies????
Echo
Marriage can't possibly take up that much time, you have to do something with the rest of your day even if you go for it.

"what are you going to do with your life" as though single people can't live fulfilling lives, wow

It had an energy like “if you don’t want to have kids or get married you must be too busy with something else like building a business or run weekly marathons”
RobotApocalypse
ah yes i know the energy you mean
RobotApocalypse
productivity mindset
RobotApocalypse
because god forbid a person just want to enjoy their time on this earth without being Productive about it

I remember when I told Mom I was ace she was sort of resigned but didn't push the issue too hard. Then again, she was always the less gung ho about having grandkids between Mom and Dad.
