Everyone says they would rather skip the small talk

Get to the deep stuff

The important things

As though the little things are not the entrance to the heart

The cracks and crevices not the softer way

To make home in ones affection

Over breaking open the ornate doors

Of their chambers

Leaving them bleeding out

So tell me

How you take your eggs

And that ponytails make your scalp itch

Tell me how long it takes you to drive to work

And where you like to sit on the train

Talk to me about weather

And about how you keep forgetting to take out the trash

So that one day when I show up with a cup of tea just the way you like it

And we talk the long path home

Just past the mural you love on 22nd street

You will know

Just how important

The little things are

To me

When they belong to you

when i dip my feet into her glist'ning waters, my mind fades away i run my hands over its currents, counting each ripple that threads through my fingers, counting the waves that wash over me and in this simple moment i’ve found solace

“Ahead of your time.”

An aromantic poem by Angel (All Pronouns).

Aromantic culture is viewing love as everything. And then nothing at the same time.

Is seeing love as fraternal, parental, platonic, friendly, grandparently, and also recognizing that it can also be none of those.

It's viewing the most simple thing in the world, like a little water puddle and thinking “how many amazing memories does this amount of water holds?”

It's having basic empathy and kindness to everything. From a old woman who says a very warm good morning to you to a little street cat that probably has 3 skin diseases, but you don't care and you're gonna pet it anyway.

It's looking at all of this variety, and then looking back to alloromantics fight to see if it's the lover or the friend who has the priority on the relationships and thinking “y'all are seriously stuck in that mindset?”

Aromantic culture is.... Being ahead of your time comparing to your peers.

You say the acceptance of my gender is the rejection of femininity

But why am I the bad guy for wearing a skirt with my beard

As you barate and harass kids and teens for ignoring the gender norms you swear to disdain

You said as a woman I could grow up to be anything so why can't I be a pretty boy

Does my sex decide my clothes my hair my jobs my name my fate

We are not enemies despite what you believe
