shout out to ace and aro kids who are constantly bombarded with the opinion that sex and romantic love are directly connected to living a happy life.

This is what being aromantic is like for me:

I WANT TO GO OUT AND EAT CHEESECAKE WITH SOMEBODY BUT IT'S NOT A DATE WE'RE EATING, WHAT'S ROMANTIC ABOUT PEOPLE EATING ALONE LIKE WHAT??? IS IT ROMANTIC TO EAT ALONE WITH FAMILY???? AHHHHHHHHH STOP PUTTING LABELS ON DAILY ACTIVITIES AND SAYING THAT'S SOMETHING YOU DO WITH A PARTNER, BITCH I'M JUST LIVING

I made an aromantic "Love song" or poem idk it's the first time I made something like this please don't judge :') also English is not my first language. (Corrections and tips are still appreciated but please be nice <3)

The first part is in perspective of my past self and the second part is my present-me talking to my past-me.

Here you go:

verse 1:

(Past-Me)

I always longed for a real heartbreak to feel something real,

But my love felt so hollow, like a wound that won't heal.

I wanted to know what it's like to be torn,

But the feeling was empty, just leaving me worn.

I just felt relieved when it finally ended,

All the tension released, all the bonds I pretended.

No true ties to sever, no tears left to cry,

Just a void where love should be, no reason to try

Pre Chorus:

In relationships, I've never really felt like myself,

And when they ended, it was like breaking free from chains.

I was free once more, but the longing never ceased,

It's just not fair-

why can't I feel my heart beat like your, baby?

Refrain:

Baby, please shatter my heart, rip it straight from my chest,

i've been chasing that hurt, but it never manifest,

Baby its okay, I just need to know,

I'm begging you now, let the feelings show

Baby its alright, i'm down on my knees,

I'm begging for heartbreak, just to prove its true

Please Baby I'm begging you

verse 2:

I longed for romance, but my fate was reversed,

My heart doesn´t beat, its been frozen and cursed.

No matter the effort, no matter the cost,

How many flowers i brought, how many kisses i lost.

It never felt right, it never made my heart beat,

And in the end, i just hurt someone sweet.

Just to prove to myself and to them,

That maybe, just maybe, I'm capable of love within

Refrain:

Baby, please shatter my heart, rip it straight from my chest,

i've been chasing that hurt, but it's never manifest,

Baby its okay, I just need to know,

I'm begging you now, let the feelings show

Baby its alright, i'm down on my knees,

I'm begging for heartbreak, just to prove its true

Baby please I'm begging you

verse 3: (Present-Me)

My dear, your heart's neither frozen nor cursed,

It just beats to a rhythm that’s beautifully versed.

Maybe your love isn't like theirs, and that's okay,

Don't beg for the pain, don’t wish it away.

All the flowers you gave and kisses you shared,

They were full of love, just a different kind of care.

You love your friends, and that love is so real,

No need for a Romeo, your Juliet’s deal.

Give your heart to the one who holds it with grace,

It may take time, but you'll find your place.

So rise from your knees and take hold of my hand,

I’ll guide you through where you’ll finally stand.

Bridge:

You’ve searched for so long, but you’ve had it all along,

Love doesn’t always have to feel like a song.

It’s in the small things, in laughter, in trust,

In all that you cherish, in all that you must.

Don’t chase a feeling that doesn’t define,

The love you give is just as divine.

changed Refrain:

Dear, take my heart, hold it close to your chest,

You’ve been chasing love, but you’ve never been less.

Dear, it’s alright, just trust and believe,

I’m here with you now, there’s nothing to grieve.

Dear, it’s fine, you’re up on your feet,

Let go of the doubts, your love is complete.

Dear, I’m here, I’m telling you true,

You’re worthy of love, and I’m begging you too

Outro:

Now I stand here, no longer unsure,

Knowing my love’s just as pure.

It doesn’t have to break to be true,

It’s in every moment, in all that I do

"History

17th Century

During the Qing dynasty of South China, there was The Golden Orchid Society. For 300 years, beginning in the early 1640s, this order of women stood against marriage. For many women, these heterosexual unions were restrictive, thrust upon them, and abusive. The Golden Orchid Society stood in opposition to society's expectations of the time, welcoming with open arms any woman looking to avoid the normative life.

It was practice for married women in China to comb their hair a certain way to say they were not available, so the Golden Orchid Society created "self-combing women". These women would wear their hair just as married women would, and a ceremony would be held to celebrate this choice. This practice was used by women who did not wish to marry or have romantic/sexual partnerships. It is likely at least some of them held similar feelings about romance and partnerships as many modern day aros."

This brings me an immeasurable amount of joy

REBLOG IF YOUR BLOG IS A SAFE SPACE FOR AROMANTIC PEOPLE AND IF YOU THINK THEY ARE VALID

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

behold, indeed

Someone low key aphobic: Romantic and sexual attraction is what makes us human!

The A-Spec community, holding up a penguin: BEHOLD A HUMAN

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

By the way "some aroace people still date and have sex" and "it's weird how internet spaces makes every single aroace character romance and sex favourable" can and should co-exist. Sincerely, an aroace person

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

the way fandoms are desperate to make all aroace characters romance and sex favorable but then dont do anything remotely similar to any other identity is astounding. hmm i wonder why

PLEASE dont derail this about shipping characters of other identities please let this one post be about an aroace struggle

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

yes

it's illogical but it don't think my brain cares

anybody else get so stressed trying to figure out what your metaphorical lable would be if you felt romantic or sexual attraction only to remember you're literally incapable of feeling attraction towards anyone and it literally does not matter

or is that just me

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

No, you misunderstood. When I said I can’t feel romantic or sexual attraction I wasn’t complaining, I was bragging.

[one-aromantic-sitting-in-a-tree]

I don't want a romantic relationship.

I want what Donna and the Doctor have.

locked doors forever

"love is an open door-" well can it be a closed door. all that love floating in is making me nauseous.
