February 16th-22nd is Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.
(ID: an image with a green background, white text says “Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week”, black text below says “February 16-22” and “Celebrating the aro spectrum community.” The the right are the gray aromantic and aromantic pride flags with photo-like frames.)
in the spirit of aro week i just wanted to say that those who identify as aromantic because they don’t experience attraction in a manner that is seen as typical or within the boundaries of what is expected of and associated with romantic attraction, those who feel something entirely different in their experience of love, you’re incredibly valid and there’s nothing wrong with the way you experience love and it’s beautiful and special and wonderful!
Learned about this this week. I feel very very validated
Seriously, No need to cheat and hurt people nowadays. Want to have multiple partners speak up! Want to be monogamous so be it but don’t cheat. There’s plenty of open minded people willing to share your love and affection. There’s no need to lie about wanting monogamy, you’ll end up being okay with it for a while and eventually lust over others and hurt people during the process. Love freely or be committed to one, simple as that.
We are so use to being full. Full of our-selves, ideas, opinions, conditions, habits, etc…. and wonder why there is no room for anything truly free and beautiful. As we become more free, so many things begin to leave us. This emptiness can be scary…it is something we don’t usually feel. So we begin to fill this “void” again. Starting the cycle all over. Many speak about “newness” and living in “the now” or “present moment”…yet hold on to so much stuff. Contrary to popular belief and social stigma…emptiness is a beautiful aspect of freedom.
