i haven't seen any post like this so let me be the one; fellow aromantics (and arospec)!
shoutout to those with an aversion to romance.
those who watch movies and skip romantic scenes like kisses and dates and handholding.
those who get uncomfortable by romantic display of affection, including seeing it in public.
those who don't like physical touch.
those who feel they are aro because of trauma.
those who are made to feel childish because romance feels wrong and even disgusting to them.
those who've been told "you'll find the one!".
those who've been told they're heartless.
those who've been told they can't love.
those who've been called deviants, sexual predators, exploiters.
you're not broken. you're not bad or wrong for what you feel. you are a wonderful person. you can and have meaningful relationships. what you feel should be normal, what you feel doesn't make you unthinking or careless. you're amazing. keep being you. keep doing what makes you happy.
