[image description: six cartoon-style bunting graphics, featuring six pride flags hanging from a brown rope. The flags are rectangular, finishing in a chevron shape, and have rows of brown stitching across the top of the flag and along the bottom of the chevron. The first three flags in each image have the topmost stripes facing the left; the second three flags are flipped, so all topmost edges face away from the centre of the bunting.

Each banner starts with the yellow/gold allo-aro flag on the left and alternates with an aromantic or alterous spectrum identity flag. From top to bottom, the banners include: the dark indigo/indigo/light lavender/white/light green/green aconiromantic flag, the yellow/orange/steel blue/pink/red alterous flag, the light lilac/light purple/pink/pink/light pink/light peach-pink bellusromantic flag, the peach/light peach/white/lavender/grey cupioromantic flag, the purple to green gradient and white stripe greyromantic flag and the pink/yellow/lemon/grey/light grey/grey/lemon/yellow/pink lovequeer flag.]

I realized that I was aromantic in August last year. You see, figuring it out was a bit if a hard and confusing task.

At first, I thought I was omni-romantic. The thing was, everyone around me seemed so very beautiful, whether they were boy, girl, or non-binary, and I would often mentally comment on this. So I decided I must be omni. Of course, gender was not the only restriction for this beauty. I would be able to look at a toddler or a puppy or the sunset and have the same reaction, but I would never think for a second that I was romantically attracted to them. However, i repressed this fact, instead feeding into the lie of being omni because what else could I possible be?

But the term never felt right. One day as I was walking to school, I decided to go over things that i wanted from a date mate and relationship. I realized that I wanted to be able to hold someone's hand and lay my head on their shoulder and flirt and fangirl with and lay my head on their lap. But I couldn't imagine myself going on a date, going to dinner, buying presents, being physically married. Feeling in love with them. And even the blurrs that I could imagine brought a distinct feeling of wrongness in me. And then I had a thought that made me freeze, made my breath stop, that left me with chills and fear throughout the rest of the day. You dont want a date mate. You want a cuddle partner. Maybe that doesnt sound so wrong, and that's because what I really meant with that thought was "you want to use people without committing them, without giving them what they deserve. You're a jerk, a horrible, disgusting person who just wants to take advantage of others."

I dont know what happened next exactly. Maybe I shoved my identity out of my mind for a bit, it being too painful to think about. I had very little knowledge of the aro community, and I remember frantically pondering if maybe I was just aro, but I knew that couldnt be true. That was just my scapegoat, me trying to avoid what was so horribly wrong with me. I think a few days, maybe a week or two later, I had been fed up with myself for being able to recognize next to no pride flags, so I looked some up online with the intention of memorizing them. Problem was, I had no idea what all identities there were, and in addition to being the only one I could think of off the top of my head, i knew aromanticism was the one i knew least about, so I decided to look at that pride flag. Little did I know, aromanticism was a spectrum, and I ended up looking at quiet a few pride flags and what identity they signified.

One of these flags was the bellusromantic flag. Purple on top, fading into a white stripe, which in turn faded into a pink one. I remember looking at this flag with uncertainty, as I was still only just coming out of my "having interest in 'girly' things makes me a fake, lifeless doll who is incapable of doing or being anything other than pregnant in the kitchen" phase. But I looked at the identity the flag signifies, bellusromantic, and what the identity is, and once again, I froze. The definition of bellusromantic written was something like "enjoying the cute, fluffy parts of a relationship (i.e. hand-holding, flirting, cuddling, etc) without experiencing romantic attraction". That was an odd moment, because that was the exact words I had so cruelly said to myself not long ago, but now they had a whole new meaning. Suddenly I wasn't disgusting, malicious. I was just different. Part of a community, even. Because there had to be others like this-- like ME if this term existed. If I had found it.

Soon after, I did some research and found it much more likely that the beauty with which I see in those around me is not a sign of romantic attraction, but rather me having sensual and/or aesthetic attraction. Loving the beauty of life and existence.

I still have some trouble with my romantic orientation sometimes, but I've come really far. I'm proud of myself. This is what I went through, and maybe someone will read this and it might help them. Maybe others can understand me and people like me better. Maybe I can save someone from the trouble I went through. I dont know, but i nust know i needed to tell a bit of my story. Happy Pride Month, guys. Stay safe. Stay happy. Stay weird.
