Hi, my name is Brittany and I don’t know how to take a selfie

This the first time I've straightened my hair for like a year. Look how long it got!

It's arospec awareness week! Your local aussie aro, now with newly pink hair

I almost forgot about Arospec awareness week! Day 1: write about what your aromanticism means for you. For me, it means I'm just not sure yet. I'm not too sure if I want a relationship or not, and have no problem waiting until I know for certain. Just like last year, I'll be taking a photo every day of AAW. As you can tell, I remembered while on my lunch tonight.

Arospec Awareness Week, Day 3: Write about what you love about / what resonates with you about your identity. This one's tough. I know I had a big "Aha!" Moment when I found out about the ace/aro spectrum, and it certainly feels right to me, but I can't say I really "love" it. I dunno, I have a hard time loving myself. I wanted to work on changing that this year but it's just been so busy. But it feels right so I always have that.

Arospec Awareness Week day 2: Write about your complications with existing on the aromantic spectrum. A lot of mine have to do with my lackluster experience with romance. I have two second-hand experiences shared with me of romance, one bitingly negative and another brilliantly positive, and have little chance of breaking into that bubble now. I lack the time or confidence for experiencing it on my own, so I have no clue how I feel about romance other than there's some good and some awful. Is it for me? I don't know. I know I'm Aspec, but am I Gray? Demi? Who knows.

Arospec Awareness Week Day 5: Write about your experience with relationships after identifying as aromantic. It's tricky, and a lot of the reason I'm so unsure. I definitely experience less draw towards romance than others, but I cannot for the life of me sort out what exactly I want. I have zero experience with that sort of thing, no time or energy to commit to that right now, and am not even sure if it'll do anything for me. As of right now, it's going unanswered, but I fear that'll just boil over one day.
