oh shoot.
I just realized that I was the aromantic outlier in my psychology class that my professor was Not prepared for.

I want to see how many people actually are willing to say this and not just act like it

Holding out for a relationship partner who's compatible with what you want isn't being picky. People who want what you want are out there too.

You say you accept aromanticism but do you only accept it as long as it fits your expectations? Do you only accept it as long as I keep my options open, as long as I don’t 100% settle on this label, as long as I allow you a small amount of hope that one day I’ll tell you I’ve changed, I’ve seen the light, I’ve found the One?
You say you accept aromanticism, but is your acceptance conditional on my redemption through platonic love? Do I have to prove to you that I am likable, that I am lovable, that I am human? Do I have to be touch starved, do I have to be lonely, do I have to feel like I am missing out?
You say you accept aromanticism, but do you believe me when I speak about dehumanization, about my anger at being pitied? Do you put yourself in my shoes and imagine the effort it takes to shape a future that looks like most people's worst fear? Do you understand that my life is not sad for not following your rigid guideline to happiness?
You say you accept aromanticism, but do you accept the changes I demand of society? Do you accept that relationship hierarchies are not inherent but learned? Do you accept that community is more meaningful in fighting the loneliness epidemic than finding the One? Do you notice that society is predisposed to benefit couples over singles? Do you realize that this is wrong?
If you say you accept aromanticism but only do so as long as I am quiet about it, as long as I make no demands, offer no criticism, draw no attention to myself, then I do not care for your acceptance because your acceptance isn't real.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there are friends who won't neglect you when they get a partner. There are friends who will cherish and support you and treat you like family, there are friends with whom you will always be important, and there are friends who will support you being aro and try their best to understand.
The idea that everyone will eventually leave or devalue you, while I know how scary it is, just isn't true- there's always hope, I've seen this happen many times before. You are valuable, and you are a good friend, and there are people who will truly love you.

Aroallo people are important parts of both the queer and aro communities and I hope y'all are treated well. Your relationships (or lack thereof) are not a bad thing and don't deserve to be sidelined or ignored. You are important in aro spaces, your voice matters in the queer scene.
