#it's just suuuch a tumblr reaction to be like 'no one has heard of my sexuality...... oh this makes me a victim i should blog about it'

i wish i could find any decent blogs about ace pride/positivity because i go out into the world and i read books by ace people and i read what people have to say about their lives and i feel so seen then i come on tumblr and it's a bunch of people just constantly fucking whining and dwelling on the negative and i swear to god if i hear one more person call asexuality "valid" im gonna scream like. where are the posts where people talk about their experiences navigating friendship as an adult when all their friends have partners? posts where aplatonic people talk about what they love?? posts where people share silly stories about awkward accidental flirtation??? posts that make it so we can talk about the parts of being aro/ace/etc that are good and positive and hopeful???? asexuality is such a complicated experience and it can definitely feel scary and alienating in the same way all queerness can, but im so tired of reading posts about negative shit when my experience of being ace has been primarily a positive one
