Tell Me If You Think I'm Boring Or If You Just Take Me For Granted

What coming out as aroace feels like

I’m not “a little bit” in love with my friends. I’ve straight up just been-

IN LOVE WITH MY FRIENDS

I’ve always felt infatuated about my friends! I just love them so much!!

You always hear, “You need to be best friends with your SO”

But why can’t they just be friends? Why do you need a romantic add-on? You can literally do everything with a friend I don’t understand.

If you ever want to talk: My tumblr ask is always open.

It's always "aros can still date!" "aros can still be in (any type of non-romantic or romantic) relationships!" "aros aren't heartless!" "aros can still love in different ways!"

Well, sure, you do you.

But not all of us. A lot of us are *completely* non-partnering. There's loveless aros. Aplatonic aros. Hell, even heartless is a label some aros use!

We don’t need to do anything to "replace" the romantic relationships we don’t have. People can be completely happy alone! Without a partner! (Shocking, I know!)

I'm just a bit tired of all the amatonormativity I still see under some of the trending aro-positivity posts...

This year I spent almost half of my paycheck to throw myself a birthday party and my mom asked me why I was putting so much effort on my own birthday and I felt like crying because I just know that if I didn't do something for my birthday there wouldn't be anything, it would be just like any other day.

In 19 years of my life, I only had 3 birthday parties and in 2 I bought or baked my own cake.

To those who have bad relationships with their mother, who feel lost, who feel ugly or not enough, who feel like making friends is the hardest thing ever:

I see you! And you deserve to be fully appreciated and loved.

Do not give up on yourself because you're here for you! This is your life, you matter and your happiness matters! Reaching for help isn't bothersome, it's beautiful and needed.

you love so easily, you see a way to love everyone and I think that's amazing but somehow that's so bitter, because you love everyone maybe loving me isn't special
