The idea of being aromantic used to feel so alien to me like it was something that could never be me but these days it's just the most natural thing ever
#this must be some universal aro-and-not-knowing-abt-it experience...#you don't focus on the fact that ''you never met anybody you actually wanted to be with''#because if you've been raised in amatonormative culture - ''not loving back'' sounds so rude and cruel and selfish in yoir ears#and you are not rude so you just keep telling yourself ''I haven't met the right person yet''#you enjoy the idea of love and you believe it's possible for everyone (isn't that what media forces us all to believe?)#and you are sure that you are romantic person because you so much want a romantic relationship for yourself too#but then you can't find anyone in particular even if all ppl around you are constantly dating and falling in love#and finally you meet someone who's not perfect but nice and kind and you date few times#and then you try so hard to fall in love with this nice person but you can't and it make you feel like a monster#nobody ever told us ''loving back'' is not a delibarate action!#I hate amatonormative culture for always blaming and shaming the ''not loving back'' person!#it's not anybody's damn fault to not feel something they can't feel!!!#aromantic#aro#aromantism#arospec#aroace#aro ace#a spec#a spectrum#aspec
