The letters LGBTQ are just another way of saying that Love is Love.
Born This Way
In the ancient kingdom of Yanxi, where reflection of banned legends travels in the air and shadows of the past dance across the walls of ruined palace, two souls found themselves caught up in a story as old as time. Their journey was one of disallowed love, marked by the fight of their opposing natures and the weight of their family's expectations. But among the trouble of their world, they discovered a love that was truly born this way.

A Neurodivergent Love Story. Runner-Up in Love Unraveled Challenge.
Television and film were the lenses I saw the world though. Being autistic, and not diagnosed until the end of high school, I missed a lot of social cues. Things didn’t stick, but somehow, watching these fictional relationships on screens stuck with me. I was was deeply fixated on movies and TV. I watched Meredith Grey fight for McDreamy, Buffy fight for Angel (and then Spike). Morticia and Gomez Addams got to be morbid and madly in love. I tried so hard to do what any couples in movies and shows did. I often ignored the worst behaviors in my first significant others for hope I’d get the happy ending and cliche 80’s song playoff into the credits sort of thing. When I’d take my mask off and show that I wasn’t just some amalgamation of fictional characters but actually autistic, disaster would strike. I’ve had exes bully me for stimming, the way I moved my hands or needed a baby blanket to fall asleep. I was expected to change myself to be this stereotypical partner and yet they did not put in half the effort I was. I wanted to be like Frankenstein, begging someone to make a match for me. Being autistic made me feel like a monster sometimes anyway, like something to stare at. At least that’s how the rest of the world made me feel. I wanted a love in neon lights and billboards but felt it wasn’t going to ever be mine. A Hollywood dream love seemed so far fetched for someone like me. I kept dreaming. Kept writing up dream scenarios of someone who could love me like Chandler loved Monica.

On Love
April 27th, 2022 Love [1] Love – it encompasses so many aspects of our lives. It has so many different meanings, so many variations of the same thing. There is a version of the word in all languages around the world. In the Greek language, there are 8 separate terms for this one English word and they all mean different things. Philia is the word for a deep friendship, almost even like a term for soulmates. Storge is generally thought of as the love towards one's family — of a parents' love for their child and vice versa. Agape a unconditional love what I gave my first love, a love without condition... Mania is ‘obsessive love’, a type of love that can lead someone to anger or jealousy. There are more, but mania is one that I can only use to describe how my first ‘love’ was.

Why We Hurt the People We Love
In love, there is a responsibility that many assume but few are ready for. Suddenly our words and actions can have such a large effect on another person that we have to tiptoe around their hearts or risk breaking something. In a way, love actually shifts our ethical burden. To treat a stranger well is simple: Be kind, not malicious. But to treat a lover well one must forego a portion of their freedom. Just by following one's own interests or being impartial when it comes to those who favor us, or even by simply failing to give yourself to them, you can cause emotional pain. With the heightened sensitivity they have towards us, our capacity to cause harm is augmented.
