i spent so much time being told that i “wasn’t ready for relationships” and that i was “too nervous” or “not mature enough” to handle them that i began to believe it. i tried so hard to better myself and do self-reflection and work at understanding why i had such a problem with being in relationships with others that i never considered the possibility of being aro-spec. moral of the story: please don’t let others tell you why you feel the way you do!! explore! research! find what’s right for you, because you are so valid and deserve to be happy!

“alone and sublime” by mother mother helped me out a lot with understanding/coming to terms with lithromanticism if anyone is struggling rn or looking for some songs that touch on it ! the lyrics are very beautiful and i don’t know if it’ll help anyone else but just thought i’d share :)

Here’s to my Lithromantics that desperately want a romantic relationship but are so afraid that they’ll hurt the person they get with that they don’t even consider the possibility of letting someone in

thinking “oh, it’s totally different with this person” when you like someone a lot and being disappointed every single time because it’s never actually different
