uh i still like believe in their beliefs and stuff but i have not identified as aro really since around the time I properly transitioned. always in half a mind as to whether i want to delete this blog. a lot of these posts i made as a mentally ill teen and i have much more nuanced political opinions now + like i spend time with queer people in queer spaces in real life. on the other hand i do still get notes here. i dont know if like people finding these old posts helpful outweighs me feeling embarrassed / thinking the information those people are getting is out of date or misses the mark or unnecessarily doomer. i also wonder if someone else would like the url? if that wouldn't be confusing for the arobloggers in my circle who interacted w this blog's ideas a lot and are still active. would also feel kinda weird to use the blog, even for an adjacent purpose, now that I don't identify this way. (tho to be clear i still benefit from ideas around relationship anarchy, touch aversion, certain ways of communicating stuff. i dont regret identifying as aro and the community is still very dear to me. also love wins me and my best friend are coming up to four years of living together, want to move out just the two of us soon, are deeply in love and recently agreed to celebrate an 'anniversary' midway between christmases so we can shower each other w more gifts. shit u didnt think was possible aged 15 can and will just happen to u at 22)
