Shout out to aroaces who love their friends so much it makes their world feel bright and beautiful. Shout out to aroaces who are overwhelmed with affection and care for their pets, for their communities, for their families, for their children. Shout out to aroaces who are passionate in their activism, in their jobs, in their hobbies. Shout out to aroaces who literally never ever want any kind of romantic or sexual relationship of any kind and are full of love anyway. You’re wonderful and I’m glad you exist.

im an aroace and tbh it feels like a gift, not a curse. it feels like freedom, not missed opportunities

and when the only thing anyone has to say about ace and aro identities is ‘you are valid’ i want to remind everyone that it is more than ok to love and celebrate who you are

chronipedia:

Aros/aces are not half, almost, or basically straight. Asexual people are not straight. Aromantic people are not straight. Whatever they might identify further with, they are not straight by default.

Aros/aces may choose to individually identify as straight but that is their decision and applies to them only. It does not speak for other aros/aces. However the situation, it never falls in the hands of allos to make that call for us and erase an important part of our orientation.
