Sometimes when you’re aromantic (or some types of asexual) you can feel like everybody’s doing romantic relationships except you. The world says you’re lonely without romance or you’ll never be happy without coupling up, and sometimes it can feel like they’re right.
As an ace/aro who’s fulfilled without a partner, I’m here to say romance doesn’t have to be your thing and you don’t have to feel inferior. There are many worthwhile experiences in life and many kinds of love. You can find your thing.
Aromantic/Asexual/Alternative valentine cards! I think maybe I’m gonna make this a tradition
For all those out there who feel left out when you see pretty and creative valentine cards, and wish there were some for you – even if you’d prefer to be alone, or just with a friend – I hope these help! They’re a bit wonky because I’m not programmed to make valentine cards, really, but people were so happy last year I made some new ones anyway.
if you actually wanna use them, feel free to do so in any way you want! whee
concept: my home is filled with sunshine, always, and the sound of wind chimes in the morning. the doors are always open and it smells like sea. i am never lonely. this is my place.
concept: it is a quiet summer morning. warm sunlight and cool, crisp air stream through my open window. my room is heavy with the smell of flowers, vines, grass, and growth. the only sounds are of bees outside, a gentle wind chime, and my own steady, deep breathing.
