Some people think that just because I'm asexual, it means that I'm completely, utterly different from everybody else. That I'm "strange".
Okay, I may be an odd ball, but it's not because I'm asexual.
I interviewed a few of my friends for this post. I'm not going to reveal which ones are asexual till the end of the post. You can try to guess if you'd like whether they're ace or not.
Fae
Favorite thing to do? : Spend time with friends, read
What makes you unique? : Not sure. I'm a pretty normal person. I like being myself.
What do you think of society today? : Thing about society is, it's heterogeneous. There's a lot of normalization that goes on. It's very driven by success, but there's a narrow definition of success portrayed all the time. A lot of people get frustrated while they try to obtain it.
Akira
Favorite thing to do? : Listen to music or read.
What makes you unique? : My life, my thoughts and my feelings.
What do you think of society today? : I think, as a society, the more it evolves the more it seems to devolve. The more civilized the lifestyle, the more barbaric the people become. As a whole, society has grown to reach greater heights and forgotten why they wished to attain them in the first place. I think it's become mechanical, devoid of life.
Tyki
Favorite thing to do? : Music, movies, screwing around on the computer, just absorbing things
What makes you unique? : Well, I'm me, I guess. Other things, growing up there was always a big deal made about me being adopted. And I also have a near photographic memory, and that stands out to people as well.
What do you think of society today? : Western society, as is, is driven by money and greed. People want the fastest cars, the biggest TVs, to sleep with the most attractive people. Society is shallow and faceless. Millions of clones walking around, all the same. It's the unique people who spark up the night, who choose to live with different goals in mind. When your head isn't crowded with greed and lust, it's amazing the things you can see.
These three people that I interviewed are all some close friends of mine. Did you try to guess who was asexual out of those three? I'll reveal it now.
They're all asexual.
Don't seem too different than the average person, huh? I don't think so either. Even though we have different goals in mind, different priorities, doesn't mean we're a different species. Asexuality is only a label, a way to help somebody on the road to self-discovery. It's not a separator. We're just like you.
Buhbye for now,
