#aromantisism

[the-unborn-soul]

I wrote about it on my another blog, but I'll write it here too, only shortly.

I am aromantic and asexual. I am queer. This Pride Month I have finally allowed myself to call myself these. For many years I wanted to call myself these labels but was always hesitant because they too can't describe me 100% perfectly. But I'm tired of doubting. Nothing describes me perfectly but I have always related to these terms and now I don't want to think if I "deserve" enough to call myself what I feel describes my experience the most. Recently I ordered myself a black and a white rings (and an iridescent one) which I always wanted to wear.

Stand in your queerness. Even if you are not "enough". Especially if you are not "enough".

My coming out to myself

So the Pride Month is almost over. And I wanted to write a pretty big post. And also to reorganize my blod. But now I don't have enough energy, and also it's a terrible heat here where I live, so I have even less energy and can't use any gadgets and laptops as much as I would like. So I'll write it in more details later. And I'll reorganize my blog later. For now I'll say only this.

I am aroace. This is my coming out to myself. I've always known that I am somewhere in aroace spectrum, and for a very long time I related to these labels very much. But I was always hesitant to call myself this though I always wanted to. I always felt (and I still feel) that I am not aroace enough to have the right to call myself this. And yes, it's not an accident that I write about this on my horny blog which I created purposefully to be horny here. I am not a perfect stereotypical aroace. I can be horny. I can have erotic fantasies. And I am still aroace. And I am queer. Even if many queers won't accept me. I was (and still am) hesitant to call myself queer either.

I am aromantic and asexual. And I am queer. Even if an abnormal one.

After all, queerness is about being abnormal.

And I don't want to doubt anymore if I am enough.

aromanticism.

"why do y'all even need pride? nobody cares about aros/aces, I don't care that you don't experience romantic/sexual attraction."

I don't need your validation or anyone else's, that's not why I do what I do.

I talk about my experiences being aro & ace because maybe someone out there will feel seen for the first time, maybe I put into words what they have been trying their whole life to figure out and didn't even know other people like them exist.

I wear my pride rings in hopes that another aspec will notice and feel less alone and realize that there are more of us out there, that being aspec is something to take pride in, that they were never broken.

we do need more visibility and it would be great if everyone knew about asexuality and aromantisism, but when I do these things I hope that someone will see themself in me and have the confidence to be their authentic self unapologetically.

The sense of relief you feel as aro when you first discover aromantisism is unparalleled. The thank god there are more people like me and this isn't a defect like I've always thought. It's isolating living in the world where everyone treats romantic love as pinnacle of happiness where you not only don't feel it, but don't even understand it.

Today I claim Villefort both as my gender AND as imaginary queerplatonic partner.

It's a small treat for me for today.
