Love Poem

You say Love is what makes us human. Love.

Using those words as a weapon against me

To tell me that I am somehow lower, you above

Because I am not the way you think I should be

Absolutely, I say, And I Love so, so much

I Love to explore, to travel the world near and far

I Love to experience, to see, taste, and touch

Most of all I Love people for all that they are

I Love my family, my parents, friends old and new

I Love people I know and those I never have met

And though they drive me insane, I Love my brothers, too

So as you can see, I feel so much Love, and yet

You still see me as broken, wrong, incomplete

Becasue I feel Love different than it ought to be

But Love isn’t black and white; life is seldom so neat

And I am still human, and my love still flows free.

Somedays, it’s a struggle

I wrestle with my own self-doubt

Asking myself if I’m faking it

Should I even ever have come out?

I try to ignore the concerned looks

Ignore the whispers and the stares

I try to tune out the words, Words

Like frigid, freak, and heartless glares

I tell myself, don’t listen, no

But how can I ignore my mother

Saying I just need to open up

And how can I tune out my brother

When he says I shouldn’t have told him

Because MY sexuality

Makes HIM uncomfortable

And now it’s all he can see

But despite it all, all this hate

I refuse to be ashamed

I won’t hide myself away again

My identity has been reclaimed.

[morally-grey-ace]

When I was younger,

I told everyone that

I would never fall in love.

Adults all laughed

And smiled knowingly.

“Just wait ‘til you’re older,”

They would say

“You’ll change your tune.”

But I didn’t.

And I won’t.

They don’t laugh anymore

When I say that

I don’t want to get married.

They exchange worried glances

As though there is something wrong with me.

As though I am broken.

But I am not broken.

In fact, I am

Completely whole

All by myself.

The sexual tension between you and no one bc you’re ace and barely have any idea of what sexual attraction is let alone how and what kind of “tension” it can cause between two people

[probably-ace-ok]

I’m asexual, which means when I say I find people attractive, I only mean it... ace-thetically

[ID: The metronome meme. At the top is an image of a semicircular dial with a needle in the middle. The left end is labelled “Touch starved”, and the right end is labelled “Touch averse”. Below, text says “Me, an aroace with a complicated relationship to physical contact:”. Below is an image of a metronome ticking back and forth so quickly that the needle is blurred. End ID]

“but why do we need to teach or mention asexuality in health class”

well my guy, maybe so asexual teens dont think something’s wrong w them ???

[amethyst-is-autistic-deactivate]

and also, because a scary high amount of asexual teens force themselves into awful sexual situations and abusive relationships because they think there is something wrong with them and maybe we could make it so they didn’t do that

[stormclouds-chainmail]

Reblogging this because it’s so damn important.

[nothingeverlost]

It’s just as important for non-asexuals to understand that lack of sexual attraction is real and valid.

[morally-grey-ace]

The only time I heard the word “asexual” in high school was in reference to bacteria and plants. I wish that I had known about asexuality earlier, and I wish the rest of my family would have learned about it too, so they didn’t think I was just making stuff up.

Bitches will be like "I'm asexual" then aggressively make sex jokes to confuse people because it's entertaining and they find the concept of sex so bizarre that it's hilarious to them.

I am bitches.

How many sex repulsed aces does it take to screw in a light bulb?

You’ll have to ask someone else, we don’t screw

[ineffablyaro]

Random person: You do know that romantic and sexual attractions are what make us fundamentally human-

Aros, turning to Aces: Gods?

Aces, nodding: Gods

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

Choosing orientation labels is just as much about your own personality and what you feel a personal connection to as it is how your attraction works.

[supernovajazzy]

Person: *hits on you*

Me, a aro/ace:

[summery-captain]

I’m right and I should say it

[aspecpplarebeautiful]

It’s OK If you can’t have sex or romantic relationships because of repulsion.

[ace-thinks]

Forever torn between:

You should let potential partners know up front that you’re asexual so that you don’t have to disclose it later on and risk future heartache. Open communication. Honesty is the best policy🤗✨🌈

and

You should wait to bring up that you’re ace until later in the relationship. Otherwise no one will even give you a chance🥴

Liking something in fiction or in theory isn’t the same thing as wanting it in real life. And doesnt invalidate your chosen labels.
