Peaceandlove67 Article: It's Hard Being Asexual

I didn't intend on uandishi this originally, but I just felt like venting, so here I go. Being asexual isn't easy, but it's part of who I am. I can't exactly change that. What's hard is some people can't accept it.

I thought that I wouldn't be bullied once I was in college. I still get bullied for being asexual. It's indirectly, unlike when I was in high school. At least, I'm not getting beat up for it.

I overheard one person saying that the reason I'm asexual is that I can't get a date. I could if I wanted to. I have been asked out kwa a few people, but I turned them down. They just weren't my type. One of them didn't even like rock and roll. That's a deal breaker for me.

For the longest time, I've actually been afraid to date. When I was in high school, there was one guy who told me that I would like sex if I tried it. He then told me to meet him after school. I did not meet with him. I went straight home. I'm sure if I had met with him, he would have raped me. After opening up to some of my Marafiki here about it, Layla pointed out to me that I shouldn't let just one incident make me afraid of dating. I'm not currently looking. I'm waiting for romance to find me.

BingoPB I'm sorry you're having a hard time, Antonia. I hope those people who make fun of you don't have any friends. They don't deserve them, especially not a wonderful friend like you. Only a few people know about me being asexual, and I think I'll keep it that way.

80smusiclover1 I agree with Kayla. Those bastards are just losers. Remember that you are very special no matter what they say about you. *Hugs*

Rubyrings They don't get it, that's all there is to it. And they don't deserve to have you around. I can't believe they assumed that just because you haven't had any dates means you "can't" get any.

Peaceandlove67 *returns hugs* Thanks, everyone.

Roldan13 Antonia, don't pay them any mind. They just don't know anything about anything. You're a great person. Remember that.

Peaceandlove67 Thank you, Jill.

ktichenor I'm so sorry that happened. Those people are just jerks! Tbh I went through some of the same things with so called friends while I was struggling to figure out what I was so I understand. Just remember you're a strong and great person and we're here for you, always. *hugs!*

Holly, Jayce, and Jon were determined to end the rumor that daisy started. They were also determined to expose daisy for who she really was. They went around the school to explain what it meant to be asexual, what it meant to be homosexual, and the fact that they don't try to convert people to be like them. Slowly, but surely, the rumor began to die down. One of the teachers alisema to holly and Jayce, "I upendo how wewe two are so close. wewe two are really good friends." Later, one of their schoolmates said, "I like the fact that wewe two can use the word upendo when wewe talk to each other. You're...

As the three Marafiki made their way through the hallway, holly slipped on a puddle of water and fell to the floor. daisy shouted, "Look who slipped! She not only slipped literally, but she slipped figuratively into gayness!" Everyone laughed except for Jon and Jayce. They rushed to Holly's side. "Holly!" Jayce cried. "Are wewe okay?!" holly tried to get up, but in her effort, she fell back on the floor. Jon helped her to her feet, but she was unable to walk. She held her knee and winced in pain. Jon said, "You're hurt. I'll take wewe to the school nurse." daisy cackled with delight and said,...

daisy acted so nice that even Jon was no longer apprehensive. As the weeks passed, holly and Jayce became comfortable opening up to daisy about their sexuality. holly said, "I'm asexual. I just don't find anyone attractive." Jayce said, "I'm homosexual. It's not easy being homosexual, but I know that some day, the right girl will come around." daisy asked, "Would holly be jealous?" Jayce said, "Of course not!" holly said, "I would be happy for her." Later, holly and Jayce went to the local park. As the watched the ducks swim in the nearby pond, they talked about many things.

holly and Jayce were starting high school. The two Marafiki walked to school together. It was in the opposite direction of their middle school, but the high school was still walking distance. As they walked there, holly asked, "Do wewe think our Marafiki will be there?" Jayce said, "Yeah, I think so." When they arrived on campus, they didn't see any of their Marafiki there. Jayce said, "Maybe they're running a bit late." As the two of them talked, a boy they did not know approached them. He appeared to be a little older than they were. He seemed friendly, so they did not feel any apprehension....

As time passed since Shadow's passing, Janis got something she had been waiting for, the results from Shadow and Juneau's DNA tests. The test kits arrived when everything was still all right. She didn't order one for Stevie, because Stevie's original owner had papers to prove she was a Staffordshire ng'ombe Terrier. He had to give her up, because he was moving to a place that didn't allow dogs. Again, that's another story. Where Shadow and Juneau were both rescues, Janis wasn't sure if they were purebred dogs. She read the results, and she learned that Shadow was a purebred Rottweiler. She also...

It was a Saturday morning. Janis was resting comfortably in her bed. Stevie and Juneau roused her up, ready to go for their Saturday morning walk. She got dressed, ate breakfast, and took her mbwa for a walk. Simon accompanied her with his dog, Timber. Timber was a German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix. Her father was half German Shepherd and half Siberian Husky, and her mother was a purebred Siberian Husky. As they walked the neighborhood, Janis said, "Shadow really loved to walk the neighborhood." Simon said, "He did. I remember that this lamppost was his inayopendelewa place to mark." She said, "That's...

The inayofuata day, Janis had a test in her history class. She didn't feel good about it, because she felt that she couldn't concentrate. She kept thinking about Shadow and how much she missed him. She managed to finish. After the tests were graded, her teacher asked to see her after class. Janis asked, "Am I in trouble?" The teacher replied, "No, you're not it trouble, Janis. I just want to ask wewe something." Janis said, "Okay." The teacher held up the test, showed that Janis barely passed, and asked, "Is everything okay with you?" Janis said, "Yes." The teacher said, "When we reviewed yesterday,...

Bowie

I haven’t been a lifelong shabiki of Bowie, but like everyone else I’ve heard a few songs. I’ve heard the hits. Since his death on 10/1/16 I have become obsessed with him, I don’t know why. Like I say, I was never an attentive shabiki but when I heard he was dead I was genuinely upset, possibly zaidi than any celebrity I’ve ever heard the same news about. Now, when I say upset I don’t mean that I was crying but that I felt loss, like something was actually gone now....

To my beloved dog, Stone, this shabiki fiction is affectionately dedicated.

It was late in the evening in the town of Stonehaven, Illinois, and Janis was enjoying her some quality time with her three dogs, Stevie, Shadow, and Juneau. Stevie was a Staffordshire ng'ombe Terrier, which is a Pit ng'ombe breed. Her fur, manyoya was a solid auburn color. Shadow was a Rottweiler. Janis named him Shadow, because he often followed her around, not because his fur, manyoya was mostly black. Juneau was a Siberian Husky. She had reddish brown fur, manyoya with white markings. She also had one brown eye and one blue eye. Janis loved her dogs...

Hello, everyone! I'm Peaceandlove67 au Antonia. BingoPB inspired me to do an makala like this with her article, "The Story of Bingo". I've told many of wewe about Diesel, but I didn't really tell wewe his full story. Here it goes.

Diesel was born January 2, 2004. He was one of eight puppies, four females and four males. I was five years old at the time, and because I didn't have any friends, I was really lonely. My aunt and uncle decided to get me a puppy to keep me company. They decided on the Siberian Husky, because I was obsessed with the movie, Snow Dogs. My aunt and uncle found a breeder...

My Dog, Stone

Hello, everyone! Peaceandlove67 here, au as most of wewe know me, Antonia. I decided to do a eulogy on my dog, Stone. Without further ado, let's get started.

Stone was a rottweiler, rotweiller and one of only two male mbwa I had, the other one being Diesel. Stone showed up out of the blue in early July 2012, so his tarehe of birth is not known. When we took him to the vet, she estimated that he was about six months old, so his birthday might have been sometime in January. He had injured his paw, so the vet treated that. I named him Stone after hearing the Audioslave song, "Like a Stone". The lyrics reminded...

She said, "I'm doing a little better. I miss Gideon very much, but I'm okay." She still cried at night sometimes, but as the months passed, she gradually started to feel better.
