I am asexual. This has taken me all my (dating) life to realize who I am. Within society, I see we are highly focused on the LGBTQI+, which is great!! They should be supported, but what about the A? What about us asexuals? We are such an "odd" group because sexualizing isn't in our nature. I want there to be more talks/awareness in society about asexuality. I always felt pressured or "not okay" to be asexual. "Oh, it's just a phase." "Once someone you have s** with who makes you feel good, you won't be whatever you think you are." These are two quotes I've heard so much while dating and opening up to my friends. Why do we always have to be sexual? Can we focus on the emotional intimacy? Dating has been very difficult because I am a people pleaser. I'm afraid of getting myself in a situation that could put me in harm.
As a designer, I enjoy layout and branding (short and sweet unlike above, haha).
