Daily Affirmation 386.
Your asexuality is not something you should be ashamed of. Your asexuality is not something that you should regret because of how it might affect your relationships. Your asexuality is not bad, regrettable, or shameful.
Daily Affirmation 388.
You are never required to explain how your asexuality works. You are never required to defend your asexuality. You are allowed to walk away from people who expect you to.
Instead of saying “Asexuality isn’t a disability! Asexual people aren’t disabled,” try “Asexuality isn’t a disability by itself, but there are disabled asexual people and their orientations are just as valid as nondisabled asexual people.”

You are allowed to have trouble accepting your identity. You are allowed to struggle with your asexuality. It is not easy, or comfortable to be questioning or avoiding parts of yourself, but it is normal. It is human. And it does not mean that anyone else is allowed to invalidate who you are.

To the closeted aces. To the aces who are struggling to come up with reasons that they haven’t brought a partner to the family celebration, to the aces who don’t know how to explain why they’re not having kids, why they’re not having the life their families think they should.
To the aces who have come out. To the aces who face invalidation, attempts to “correct” their identity, or attempts to explain it away. To the aces who face flat out denial of who they are, or hatred because of it.
As the holiday season gets underway, please remember that you deserve better than this. You are incredible, and the way you have been treated is not acceptable. You are deserving of love and support.
Santa: hohoho what do you want for Christmas this year?
Me: what about some positive asexual representation in the media???
Santa: *sweats nervously*
You’re still a valid asexual even if you fit one or more of the ace stereotypes. You’re valid if you’re ace and aromantic. Ace and autistic. Ace and disabled. Ace and a survivor of assault. Ace and a virgin. Ace and afraid of commitment. And on and on. If you’re asexual, you’re a valid ace, no matter what comes after the “and”.
“sex is great” but have u ever
cracked your back and it feels like sleeping on clouds
heard that one chord in a song that just resonates with your soul
bit into pizza and it doesnt burn your tongue its just warm and yummy
drunk some hot chocolate and the marshmallows have melted perfectly
tucked a lock of hair behind your ear and it stays
breathed in deeply and then exhaled and felt that everything was ok
had someone lean their head on your shoulder absentmindedly
made your friend giggle
realized you had all the ingredients and time for your favorite food
gotten into bed, felt like you’re floating, and fallen asleep immediately
“I AM NOT BROKEN.” asexual
please message me, @hopeunconditional, if you would like a digital piece of similar style with a different pride flag.
