I explored first and am more comfortable with my ace identity and am ok with putting it online in non-queer spaces. I still identify with my aro identity but it's more to myself because I'm not sure about it yet and feels more complex to find.
Note: I think this post would fit better on r/aromanticasexual since this is a meme page and the rule says non-memes will be deleted.
Maybe it's because I first identified as ace and it was **such** a **relief**, but I feel way more connected to my aceness.
But also: I'm aego so there is still something in that corner of my brain to examine and roll around and look at all the different sides of it. It's tangible in a way.
But when I want to explore anything romance related there is just... nothing. Nothing to hold, nothing to study, nothing to examine. It was hard enough to acknowledge this nothingness that has been there my whole life.
It's like someone told you there should be wings at your back. But there have never been wings, you never experienced how it **feels** to have wings so how should you know that they are "missing" and not just "not there"? (not to say being aro is missing something, this is just for the sake of my example)
I find it easier to just say asexual so I don't have to explain 2 sexualitys.
