I decided to have a nice aromantic celebration day for myself this past Valentine’s Day, since I feel like I understand what being aromantic means for me so much better than I ever have before. And I just really gotta say, how the heck do people manage to fit a satisfactory amount of special plans into only one day?? What is this superpower? I wasn’t even being especially extravagant. I was gonna turn off my phone alerts a bit, enjoy a nice novel, have some snacks and candy, take a long shower, just enjoy being in my own company, you know, nice things. Fuzzy bathrobes and watching the weather from the coziness of indoors. It’s now moving into day five,

    @robotrecall@beige.party ok now I either I am totally ignorant of how to properly define aromatic, or it's about enjoying smells—and bc of my fragile ego and drive to always show I am right (unless I'm wrong), I am pointing this out to you now 🤪 As an aside I recently started as a journeyman perfumer, so my eyes were keen as my nose in picking up the word's scent. MOST people forgot the word soon after they'd read it, since it has almost nothing to do with the content of your toot. 💨 However, fecal gases aside, I see after all this that it is obviously a typo/autocorrect for the word *romantic*! 🤦‍♂️ That said, we all go through the same thing. But I think if we want a romantic weekend/time, we need to have the ebullience that prompts the romantic air between themselves and another person. _Not sexual_, but a comfortable intimacy. And if a person hasn't found themselves desirable enough to engage in diect intimacy with themselves (as if with another person), then it fits that the person (you, me, many of us) may have not yet further developed those feelings for themselves. I'm a philosopher, a novelist, and verbose. I hope not aggravatingly so.

    @robotrecall@beige.party Much like Christmas, Valentine's Day is an annual obligation to feel what the occasion requires, accompanied by the inevitable feelings of guilt for not living up to the expectations of properly feeling what one feels one should be feeling just because of an arbitrary date on the calendar.
