Closed captions will be added sometime this week! I'm having wrist issues so I can't make them as fast as usual sadly. Edit: Captions are now up! 🎉 Happy....... not pride month anymore lol. This film is rushed and bad :(
This is so similar to my own experience during my high school years (I'm aroace). I struggled for years figuring it out/accepting it to be true. I was also very awkward and not super confident in myself. So I ended up in relationships that I realise now I didn't really want to be in but I thought I did at the time because of the pressure my friends (unintentionally) put on me. Both of the guys I dated in the past were in my friend group and it would have been awkward to say no. Plus I was told that they liked me before they confessed (both times) and I mistook the anxiety of knowing that they liked me, for me liking them, even though I felt nothing beforehand. It was just what was expected. The first boyfriend was simple, he wasn't really as interested in dating me as he thought he was and he broke up with me, I don't remember being too sad about that one. But the second boyfriend...I could tell he really truly liked me. I tried playing the part but I was uncomfortable the whole time. It was so bad that I would avoid him during the early morning before school started just so I didn't have to put on the "girlfriend act" because that's what it was, an act. The break up was more messy. I was the one who broke it off and I was upset because I knew it would make him sad. I would like to say that my relationship with them was that straight forward. But it wasn't. I got back together with both of them at different points because I was craving connection. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I started to accept that I was aroace and stopped dating all together. I am much more confident in my feelings now then I was back then and have been happily single for 4 almost 5 years now. And I just want to say to any high schoolers who maybe reading this comment, you don't have to figure out what you are right away! It's okay to take your time and figure it out. It's okay to experiment a little. It's also okay not to experiment! Just do what you think is right and don't beat yourself up too much if you later realise you didn't want to do something. Mistakes will happen, it's just part of the journey of figuring out who you are. Just listen to your feelings and don't be too hard on yourself. Figuring these things out is difficult! Whether or not you realise your gay, lesbian, bi, ace, trans, (insert other queer identity here) or your realise that your are in fact straight/cis, the feelings you had/have are still valid no matter what conclusion you come too and it can change over time. You may feel one way now and feel another way later. That's totally normal! Because all that matters is how your feeling in the present. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
i really enjoyed this! the sets are amazing and i really feel like you captured the experience that lgbt+ individuals go through, ESPECIALLY as a teen when you’re still figuring yourself out. it was also really cool to see the perspective of an aro character as there isn’t much representation. overall, you did a really good job !
I love aroace rep! This short speaks to me so much. I know I want a relationship but it’s so difficult to navigate emotions and what I want from a relationship. Ellie the queen of ‘wtf am I?’
This was amazing! Your camera work, sets and editing is great! I was really happy to see aro representation because one of my best friends is aro. I sent her this video immediately. I bet a looooot of work and love went into this video. Your work really inspires me

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! A big part of why I wanted to make this was the lack of representation (both on lpstube and just in general).
I love aroace rep! This short speaks to me so much. I know I want a relationship but it’s so difficult to navigate emotions and what I want from a relationship. Ellie the queen of ‘wtf am I?’
I'm happy this could resonate with you a bit! "Wtf am I??" has very much been a reoccurring theme in my own life lol.
