Hi! I'm a nonbinary aro/ace person looking to finally start a pride blog. This blog is very aro-centric because it is a huge part of my identity. When I started this blog earlier in 2019, it was not part of me I was happy with. Now I'm very chill about the whole thing :> Buy me a coffee Icon was made by @awkstea and header by @mandaka!

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

I think the aromantic tag should have its own valentine's day animation where instead of piercing through the heart, the cupid's arrow just. bounces off. sorry bud, you're not getting in there. it's extra solid love immune heart. fuck off.

How medical and psychiatric professionals who’s job it is to understand humans react when you tell them you’re aromantic and not asexual:

(tbh they react like this to aspec identities in general)

[aromantic-diaries]

Okay let's get this straight.

"Asexuals can still have sex" does not mean that asexuals can begrudgingly put their sex repulsion aside and force themselves to please their partner. It means that because asexuality is simply defined as a spectrum of little to no sexual attraction and one's sexuality consists of many different factors other than attraction, such as sex drive and emotional connection, there are individuals on the asexual spectrum who can and do enjoy having sex even though they lack sexual attraction.

"Aromantic people can still date" does not mean that aromantic people can lie to themselves enough to go against their actual wants and get into a romantic relationship and pretend to be "normal". It means that because aromanticism is simply defined as a spectrum of little to no romantic attraction and human relationships are very much complex and romance itself is loosely defined, some aromantic people do in fact desire a romantic relationship while not experiencing romantic attraction because of other factors such as companionship and intimacy

YOU 🫵🏻 read this webcomic that's been bouncing around my brain like pong it's really funny and cute

the driver who took me to/picked me up from my dentist appointment today was a nice black woman who i had a lot of fun talking to. she mentioned at one point that she had been in a relationship for 10 years with 1 person who ended up ruining everything they had by causing unnecessary drama. she told me she just wants peace, so she decided. not doing that anymore. and stopped partnering and dating altogether.

she said she's been single for years and couldn't be happier. she told me that she has so much more freedom and independence. she can finally travel and live her life.

while i'm not going to claim i know how she identifies, i just thought this might be nice to show other aromantics and non partnering people to prove that not partnering really isn't misery at all if that's not what you want. you can live a very happy life without a partner! it's not required if that doesn't work for you. live your life the way you want to. you don't have to involve yourself with someone else if you really don't like it. you don't have to conform to amatonormativity

I love it when my irl friends know I'm aroace because it means I can just hug them without them feeling like there are any scary obligations or implications there.

My best friend at college said it best I think:

"Sometimes I think I want a boyfriend, but then I realize. No. I really just want a hug. And then I go and find you and I get a hug and then I don't want a boyfriend anymore."

Like. Bro. Sometimes my friends just need a hug without having to worry about anything else. And I'm so glad that I'm capable of giving it to them.

Anyway, shoutout to all my online friends that I can't hug, I'm giving you a virtual one!

I know it's Christmas and it's a hard time of year and I'm so sorry, but my welfare cheque this month is only going to be $263. My rent alone is over $600.

It's because I deposited $470 in my bank account with accumulated bills in November, before I even applied to Welfare, to pay for first months rent. They're counting it as "income", unfortunately, and telling my caseworker that it was accumulated over time didn't matter because it was deposited at once.

I cannot afford to miss rent. My sister is depending on me. It's due on January 1st, in 5 days. I feel so horrible about it.

Please, please. If you can spare anything at all. I do not have well-off friends or family that can help me.

Go to paypal.me/cougheddrop and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.
