Let's spread some love!

This positivity blog is a safe space for people of all genders, sexual and romantic orientations, and ethnicities. Together, let's create a world where everyone is free to be themselves without fear of hate.

You know how some people find out about asexuality and/or aromanticism for the first time and get really excited about it? And then they start making ace/aro headcanons for their favorite characters, following a bunch of ace/aro blogs, looking for other ace and aro people to talk to, and just generally being really enthusiastic when talking about ace/aro stuff? That’s one of the most precious things ever and it warms my heart to see people feeling happy about themselves and feeling like they finally belong.

I haven’t posted anything here in a while, but just know that I still love you all and hope you’re all doing okay.

Hey there Positively Aro Ace

My name is E.C Miller and I run an Etsy store that sells LGBT Pride bracelets! And why am I selling these? Well firstly to earn some money for school (which means a great deal to me), but also as part of my personal goal where I try to make LGBT bracelets are accessible as possible for members of LGBT community by having different kinds of bracelets so everyone is able to afford!

There are two sizes on threaded ones!

Larger Ones

Smaller Ones

And newest product;

Beaded Ones!

ALSO I AM ABLE TO DO VARIATIONS OF ANY FLAGS, JUST ASK!

There is many to choose from along with other products in the store! Including rainbow bracelets and even pronoun ones! Reblogging this post, telling your friends or even buying one of these bracelets can go a long way! If you have any questions or requests my Tumblr is @apeskyhedgehog

I decided to create a dedicated site for all my posts about asexuality and Islam. It’s now live at www.asexualityandislam.com.

A bit of advice for those questioning their (a)sexuality

You shouldn’t worry about trying to “fit” a label. Labels exist to help give you a sense of identity, to help you understand yourself and allow you to find others just like you. But I notice that a lot of people fall into a pattern where after they find a label for themselves that really “fits”, they start to repress any part of themselves that seemingly contradicts this part of their identity. And when they start to feel differently about things, they don’t want to accept it, and it leads to a lot of frustration and confusion. Being closed off to change is quite counterproductive when it comes to your own personal growth.

If you feel that identifying as ace or grey-ace helps you to understand yourself, that’s great! If you start to no longer feel that way, then don’t be afraid to explore these changes. This is especially true for younger people. It is of course quite rude to tell someone that their asexuality is “just a phase” in an attempt to invalidate the way they currently feel. But for some of you, you may in fact feel differently in the future, and you shouldn’t fight this. On the other hand, if you identify as ace now but felt differently in the past, this doesn’t make you any less ace. How you feel now is what matters. People are prone to change, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

A label should describe how you feel now. It doesn’t have to be consistent with how you felt in the past, and it might not be consistent with how you feel in the future. But if using a certain label makes you feel validated and more at ease with yourself, then it is a good label indeed.

is it possible to be aro ace and still be fine with being in a relationship? I've been feeling very frustrated and confused bc I'm ok w/ whatever happens but I've never felt attracted to anyone ever (in any way) besides admiring phys looks like art

This is totally fine! Being in a relationship doesn’t make you any less valid as an aro ace. Some aroaces want to be in close relationships with others (sometimes referred to as Quasiplatonic Relationships), and some are just fine by themselves. Either is perfectly valid.

To all aromantics: 

I hope you’re having a wonderful day. You’re beautiful and deserve positive friendships with people who value you for you. 

Keep doing what you’re doing, ‘cause you’re doing great!

[diaryofaconfusedace]

Shout out to all aces who are just starting to find themselves.

Shout out to all aces who aren’t quite sure where they fall on the spectrum yet.

Shout out to all aces who are older and just now starting to identify as on the ace spectrum.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t possibly be ace because you used to identify as something else.

Your feelings are valid. You are valid. I believe in you.

[lukeskywalking]

this is a virtual hug for all my ace/aro friends out there, you’re all valid and you all matter <3

Aromantics and asexuals are wonderful. They are amazing. They are outstanding. They are shining stars. They’re a blessing to this world. I am so glad that they exist.

[positivelyaroace]

To aces who are still figuring out their identities To aces who have known about their asexuality for years

To aces who are sex-repulsed To aces who enjoy sex To aces who are just indifferent about it

To aces who are comfortable talking about their asexuality to friends and family To aces who are in the closet, or simply do not wish to talk about it

To aces who use many labels to describe themselves to others To aces whose only label is asexual

To aces who masturbate, and to those who do not

To aces who are homoromantic, biromantic, panromantic, or heteroromantic To aces who are aromantic

To aces of all different ethnic groups

To aces of all different genders

To aces of all different ages

You are all fantastic human beings. One of my favorite things about the ace community is just how diverse a community we really are. Though our stories are all different, we are able to connect through shared experiences and find others just like ourselves.  We are connected because of who we are.

I hope that you have a great day today. I hope that you can find people who will love and support you. Please remember that, despite what anyone tells you otherwise, your identity is valid, your experiences are real, your story is important, and you are worth it. I love you all very, very much.
