Toying around with the idea of calling myself queer as my main label rather than aro, ace, or aroace. Like I still identify with my aspec labels but I’m not really vibing with how constrictive they can feel at times, especially when I introduce myself as one of them. Idk I think my journey from demigirl to agender to genderfluid to eventually genderqueer has taught me a lot about the power of labels as a social tool rather than merely as self identification. Both uses of labels are important to recognize, but I think tumblr tends to put a certain emphasis on the latter, and I’m realizing that the former is more important to me as a person than I thought.

#also im in college #lets face it this is my time for experiementation #and lately ive been questioning again #my aspec labels will always have a special place in my heart as the first labels i was able to use for myself #but its like the same as when i had my harry potter house crisis back in middle/ high school #i was originally a ravenclaw #and then later i was a hufflepuff #and then later i realized i didnt care so much anymore #doesnt mean i was never a ravenclaw in the first place #or that neither of the labels fit me because i didnt care about them anymore #just that im a person and i am capable of change #in am only 20 years old and i think its important to acknowledge that my sexuality could very well change many times before im dead #especially now as im just discovering new parts of myself #but my labels have been super helpful for me in even getting to this point and for that'll always be so grateful #anyways point is i think i want to be queer now #i will still post about aroace things #but this is how im feeling lately #queer #sexuality is fluid #pride #aroace #aspec #cloudy rambles
