Books Are Better Than People - Tumblr Posts
My mother found my biology textbook and proceeded to spend the next two minutes remarking on how nice and beautiful it was
so im reading this book i told you about and i have so many positive feelings about it and when im reading it im just giggling and kicking my feet most of the time right like i LOVE it
i realized something (im aroace)
is this how other people feel about other people?
