I feel this article is more about language, communication skills, and the human mind's perplexing logic in how individual choices are made in correlation to relationships, rather than anything else. Throughout my transition, I have joined many groups to establish a form of relationship—be it platonic friendships, romantic ones (dating), or the possibility for something a little bit more serious and involved. Throughout my interactions, I came across many types of people who showed some form of interest in me for various reasons, which I am about to explain. But, before I can get into my own understanding of the different relationships I have experienced thus far, I feel the need to interject about my own relationship status and orientation; this will become very relevant as you read throughout this article.

By simplifying complex concepts and using accessible language, I hope to offer insights that resonate with a wide audience. Whether you identify as asexual or simply seek to broaden your understanding of human connection, this piece will explore what it means to be 'ace'—a crucial and often misunderstood aspect of human diversity.

Asexual people often face prejudices, including questions like: Are asexual people just afraid of sex? Are they secretly gay/straight/etc. and in denial? Is asexuality a phase or something they'l...

However, upon reviewing photographs taken by the camera, I can discern emotions in each frame that I wasn't consciously aware of. To test this, I conducted a small experiment: I placed my hand on the side of my face, partially covered one eye, and looked into the mirror. While doing so, I blinked and simultaneously turned my head to look at a window. During this process, I had a camera pointed at the mirror, capturing rapid images. When I later examined these images, I was astonished to find emotions in my eyes that I hadn't realized were present. These were truly incredible findings. This article will highlight some key differences between how our brains process visual information in real-time and how a camera captures it. I will explain why I think I might be seeing emotions in my camera's still i...
