Are you going to come out of it with a Klein-level work? No. Dude was bonkers skilled. But I am here to tell you that if you've ever gone to Home Depot and shuffled through paint chips and been like "God, this is such a gorgeous color, I fucking love this color" and then immediately been like "...but I can't imagine painting a wall with it." and bought a can of soul-killing eggshell off-white or what the fuck ever, you absolutely can go pick up a $10 canvas from a craftstore and a $5 sample of that color and just hang 6 square feet of it on a wall and enjoy the fuck out of it.

My mum is sick. Dying. She is in this position because she believes at her very core that she does not owe anyone or anything a duty to live a good life. She is completely of the opinion that "I want to have a fucked up sleep schedule and smoke myself to death and do nothing but post ragebait online? It's my choice, why should I do what society says is good?"

And on the one hand, yeah, fuck the man and do what you want. I see the appeal.

On the other hand, it perpetuates hurt against herself, all her loved ones, and society. It causes so many problems and imposes unnecessary obligations on others instead. When you elect not to live within the established frameworks of 'living a good life' by never engaging with anything that's hard, or by insisting the norms don't apply to you, the problems you create down the line affect everyone around you.

You can do whatever you want forever.

Seriously, any time you think "can I still be ace if-" the answer is you can do whatever you want forever. Do you feel like you're still ace even if [X]? Then you're still ace.

That said, I hate when people give that as a be-all-end-all answer, because I do recognize that you came into my ask box with this question because it genuinely is weighing on you in some way, and I won't be dismissing that. Please just take this answer with a grain of salt, because at the end of the day only you get to decide who you are.

Asexuality (the spectrum) is "experiencing little to no sexual attraction."

That's it, that's the whole definition. That's why the asexual/aspec umbrella includes asexual, demisexual, greysexual, aceflux, and about a hundred other ace experiences and labels.

Action ≠ attraction used to be an ace community catchphrase because, in short, what you do does not define your sexuality. You could go out and have a different hook up every night and still be asexual, because you experience zero or only a little sexual attraction to the people you're with.

So in short, does the way you experience sexual attraction align with your understanding of asexuality/the ace spectrum?

Does calling yourself ace feel good and validating and affirming?

Then you're ace. Doesn't matter what you want physically, what you fantasize about, what you do in your solo time, or what you like in media.

"Curiosity is love for the world, and when you love something, you want to get to know it more. So when you share facts about crows or pterodactyls or whatever, what you are expressing is gratitude for the ability to exist in and come to understand the beauty of the world around you."

"When you tell someone that you don't like all the crow facts, you're...
