Don't feel bad! All love is just as important and you don't have to feel bad for making certain people understand the type you feel ^u^ I've been learning about queer platonic relationships recently and it's kinda changed how I think about relationships in general. Like... there are so many different forms of attraction but for some reason "romantic" and "sexual" get held up on this high pedestal above all the others. Lame. (also, just the idea that pairs/groups of people have the freedom to feel whatever combination of types of attraction they have for each other without having ALL of those feelings condensed down, simplified, and stuffed into 1 of 3 of the most common boxes is amazing.)
Platonic love so important. It's a kind of love where hormones are unlikely to make you wonder if what you're feeling is real and that's pretty sweet. Like... platonic love and expressing it to someone else is like telling them that they make you feel special pretty much without any strings attached. It's like, "Hey you! I fuckin love your guts and want to have a long term fulfilling relationship with you and while I may like "squishing' on you I don't want to build a family or go to pound town with you! I just wanna hang and hear about your day and have fun! ^u^
