i’ve forgetten how to love myself

I miss being in love with you.

I miss the comfort that I found only within your gaze. I miss the warmth I felt, only within your smile. I miss the security I felt, only within your arms. I miss having my world revolve solely around you. I simply just miss being in love with you, and I would do anything to get it back.
“What a painful feeling it is to watch the best thing that ever happened to you walk away without saying a word, as you wonder if you’ll ever find even an ounce of that same love, that same familiarity, within someone else in this lifetime.”

I don’t see enough people talking about the anti-Asian racism that’s gotten more prevalent after the coronavirus.

As an Asian-American myself, it’s not just the coronavirus that’s making me nervous. I’m scared to go anywhere in case somebody attacks me for being Asian. I’m scared about how the spike in xenophobia could affect my family and their jobs. I’m scared for my Asian friends whose families run small businesses.

Next time you say that the coronavirus isn’t a big deal, remember that somebody else could be facing completely different social implications.
