I know aros can like love songs just like aces can have a dirty mind.
But like...
What the heck?
I have a Spotify playlist called [Kauffman] Songs that has the seven songs he's sent me at one point or another in the past few months.
Only one isn't a love song, it's more of a self-confidence song.
In no particular order, the songs are:
"broken" by lovelytheband (this one he sent me when we were arguing about me being in the group, it was actually right after we made up and he asked if I'd heard it. I know most of the words to this song).
"Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars (first one he ever sent me, I don't remember how or why and I don't really wanna search through screenshots to find out--if I even saved it. It's a Gen Z Culture song, but even if it wasn't, I know all the words to it. To fall asleep at night I imagine different people singing it to/about me--yes Kauffman's one but not the only).
"A Thousand Years" by Christina Perry, performed by The Piano Guys (okay so he didn't send this one to me but one time we were on the phone and he kept playing music on his Alexa, I think I asked him to play it or I'd mentioned to him the song earlier [it was played at a wedding I was at] so he played it. Little did I know he was playing the Piano Guys version, which [obviously] didn't have the artist singing. I was singing along to it, then I said something like "I don't know where we are in the song, I lost count of measures, and I can't hear the artist." Kauffman's like "uhm that's because the artist isn't singing? I played the Piano Guys version?" I freaked out, I'm like, "DUDE MY VOICE IS SUCKY!" Kauffman responded, "I think it's beautiful." I was silenced for about thirty seconds before I told him I was [once again] blushing because he complimented me. So this song makes the list because ~memories~).
"Never Be Alone" by Shawn Mendes (used to be one of his favorite songs; it took me like two weeks after he sent it to me to actually listen to it because I was at my dad's and then people were home at Mom's and I couldn't find my earbuds so when I was home along I blared this song. Love it. Now it's stuck in my head. Know all the words).
"Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Backstreet Boys (okay so this one used to make me cry even though it's an upbeat song, he sent me this while we were still arguing about me being in the group [my neighbor made a group chat so we would talk]. Only made me cry because I hate that we were arguing for so long about that and that's a reminder, but now that we're good [I think] I smile when I hear it. Know most of the words).
"Stand In The Light" by Jordan Smith (he sent me this the same time he sent me "Never Be Alone" so it took me a while to listen to. This is the one more about self-confidence. I know almost all the words).
"Happier" by Ed Sheeran (sent me this two days ago. I asked him what was so wrong about me maybe being bi [I still don't know I think I might just miss her a lot] and he just sends me this song saying, "change the pronouns to female." I may have cried? I said "So... from the song I'm guessing you're upset that I'm bi?" and he goes "exactly." Am currently learning the lyrics and tune).

i'm ace? and part of lgbt?
Non-FictionSo I've seen journals of people in the LGBT+ community on here, and I've also noticed that asexuals seem to have lack of representation. I wanted to share my story so that fellow aces can relate and/or feel like they're not alone. I'll probably make...
