Having the courage to write and ask him out makes me feel like I’m becoming my best self. There was a time when I thought I fell in love, and later realized how disrespectful I was for abusing that word. It comes with the humanity that coldness forces me to erase, including that of the people I love. This is the first step towards establishing a real, reclaimed Asian-American community held together by love and support for one another and ultimately ourselves. I expect other Asian-Americans to empathize with me in the same way that I’d do for her.
