Reblog if you or someone you know is ace… I’m trying to see something

Reblog if you agree that gender and sexual identities are fluid. No one needs to shove themselves into a box for the "comfort" of others. If you don't know yet, it's ok! If you don't want to label yourself, it's ok! Trying out more than one label is ok! You are valid nonetheless :)

I had a thought the other night, and it went something along the lines of:

“Labels aren’t made to push agendas, but rather help you understand that there’s nothing wrong with you, and that in fact, there are others around the world who go through the same. If it weren’t for the label, I would be otherwise be feeling really lost and broken for not being able to fall in love or feel sexual attraction at the rate others do (or at all).”

Just to clarify, I reblogged the post because I think that these address the biggest thing regarding labels that is touched upon by many: labels as shoving yourself into a box, as well as a personal argument when I was asked why I was happy shoving myself into a box.

I know that labels can indeed lead to being restricted by what you are supposed to do or feel under the label you chose, but it is also empowering (maybe?) and freeing. As an aspec person, I had a hard time both understanding what I was going through, and coming to terms with it, but finding the labels and adopting them led me to the community. To learning that I was the only one, and that it was ok for me to grieve being aro at first. Needless to say, it has led me to meet incredible people and do amazing things for others, as now I am the one who gets to help those new to the label (and umbrella).

About 6 days ago I found myself in a situation that allowed me to discover my experience with romance, being more than okay with it when it’s about others, but being grossed out and anxious about it when it happens to me. Yup, I’m romance averse.

This happens when my friends and I were at a party, and as the night went by, there were lots of people who started kissing out of the blue. Like, at one moment they were dancing, and then BAM, they were kissing. That’s when I started picturing myself in that situation, which made me realise of how I’d feel if it were to happen to me (like for example someone else mistaking my actions or that it would just happen out of nowhere). It’s not that I felt it, but I just knew that I would feel like I couldn’t breathe or that I would have a panic attack.

In spite of this, the following night, when someone I knew had a crush on someone, and they kissed for the first time I got happy for them and couldn’t help but smile. That’s when I noticed the duality of my feelings towards romance and all suddenly clicked.

Allos watching movies/tv: They don't have any chemistry.

Asexual me: 😐🤔😒🤔🥴

Bonus because I thought it was really funny.

In my book there is an elite military squad where there is only one boy. Just like you’d expect people always say that there must be a lot of chemistry between them as he’s the only guy. The girls respond saying that I reality there is no chemistry and that they’re all like siblings. The boy is aroace and he doesn’t get what they mean so I imagine things going like “We do have chemistry. The class starts at 9, but I do teach them alchemy after school”

(And yes, they are teenagers who are in the military. Let’s say their society is pretty effed up)

My goal in life is to buy a castle to live in with a bunch of friends. We will have a couple of swords made and learn to use them so that we can defend our house if anyone decides to enter.

Me: *comes out as asexual*

Person: But how do you know if you’ve never had sex? Do you even know what it’s like?

Reblog if you're not straight, I want some notes

The aro community is really important. And not just to me, but to everyone else as well!

It’s seriously one of the most amazing communities I know of, and it presents a safe place for so many people, as being surrounded by others like you makes being aromantic in a love-centered world so much better to handle.

When I initially found out I was aro I was so scared that I might be alone, but the community has helped me come to terms with my aromanticism and understand that you don’t need a romantic partner to “not be alone”. In fact, it has helped me appreciate and develop an even deeper friendship with some of my friends.

Not only is the community a safe place, but it also provides some information that others might ignore or not know. What do I mean? We all know that romantic love is not the only kind off love outside of family love, but it has come to my attention that many alloromantic people are oblivious of platonic attraction, and the aro community is slowly spreading awareness on the topic!

This is why, on the first day of this year’s aro awareness week, I’m celebraron being a member of this lovely community!

Acepec culture is saying someone is hot but in a totally non-sexual way.

You could actually compare it with Will Smith’s [Ah, that’s hot.]
