#arospectrum

but i can only just watch.

the thing is, i don't know what the fuck romance is. i don't know it the way others do, don't know a version of it i can and am willing to stomach again. i don't know how to want it. i don't know how not to, either.

but i know other things.

i know that i bring an extra hair tie on my wrist everyday, just in case someone needs it.

i know that i'm good at remembering the things people want. i know that i'm good at being sincere and worse at pretending i don't care.

i know i would leave class to accompany someone when i know they need me. i know i would drop what i'm doing if someone called for my help.

i know that i have coaxed a smile out of people who haven't told me why it was so hard to. i know that if i got rich the first thing i'd do is get everything my friends could ever want and more. i know that even if i don't find the romance that surrounds me i will find love in my heart and feel it in my skin when i hug my friends. i am not broken. i am not broken. i am not broken.

it's a lonely feeling to not crave romance. but with every passing day, my own company gets more bearable, pleasant on good days.

what the fuck is romance, my brain still sometimes screams.

If you are going to use my flags and terms for something, I ask you to mention me as the author.

Если вы собираетесь использовать мои флаги и термины для чего-то, то попрошу вас упоминуть меня как авторикс.

AROMINOR

— A label for those who have minor romantic attraction and/or minor interest in the romantic concept/etc. This could also be ignoring, disinterest, etc.

Can be combined with other orientations, or used as a standalone term.

АРОМИНОР

— Ярлык для тех, кто испытывает незначительне романтическое влечение и / или незначительный интерес к романтической концепции/тп. Это так же может быть как, игнорирование, не заинтересованность и т.п

Можно комбинировать с другими оринтациями, или использовать как самостоятельный термин.

For those that don't know: while asexuality is a sexual orientation, aromanticism is a romantic orientation, and the two don’t necessarily correlate. Someone may be asexual but not aromantic, or vice versa, or they may be on both spectrums.
