I know I don't post often, life is hectic and personal problems get in the way of trying to explore online spaces. Despite it not being until tomorrow(June 5th), I wanted to make a post about aromantic visibility day.
I personally fall under the aromantic umbrella, and it took me a very long time to learn this. I am demiromantic, which wasn't too hard to realize once I learned the term, but I am also aroflux. There are multiples definitions online, but for me being aroflux means that the intensity at which I am capable of feeling romantic love varies day to day. It's like a slider on a scale. Sometimes I'm even fully aromantic, and before realizing I was aroflux, I thought that there was something wrong with me. I thought I was unlovable. Thanks to online spaces I finally found the term aroflux and came to accept that it was a part of who I am, and not something I need to feel ashamed about. I have a wonderful partner who loves me no matter what, and I love him too, more than life itself. Even when I am fully aromantic I still love him in every single other way that there is, because aro-spec people are still always going to be capable of love. Happy aromantic day, everyone. Here's to discovering who we are. I even made a new demiaroflux flag, because the old one that I was using was very similar, but the center stripe wasnt centered with the point of the triangle and it was driving me crazy.
