I'm an Indian too, I'm yet to meet another ace here, I havent come out to my friends yet. Its pretty hard to make them understand that you dont get the same desires and urges they get, Ive tried to hint it but they just dont get that people like us also exist. Ive given up on telling them. Both my parents have passed and I'm relieved in a sense that I dont have to have that conversation.

And like you I'm a writer as well, last year I came to the conclusion that I'd rather spend my time on improving my health and habits then think about useless shit. Since then Ive properly focused on my writing and I'm actually on my way to complete my first novel.
