there's a lot of misunderstanding with aromantic people by non-aro people. I have been told I "can't love" because I'm aro. no, I've never been in love with a person, but that doesn't mean I can't love, or fall in love with something. I love the way freshly watered soil looks and feels. I love going outside without shoes on. I love the way my queerplatonic partner looks in the color yellow, and that they can pull off yellow so much better than I can. I love touch-me-not ferns and the way ivy climbs up walls. I love Winnie the Pooh. I love the smell of the wind before it rains. I love the patterns of crystals. I love my friends, and telling them I love them. just because my love isn't romantic doesn't mean it's any less good, any less important, or any less love.
