When I say “I love you” I do not mean it romantically. I don’t even mean it platonically. For me “I love you” is a way of say “I am in love with the universe itself and you are apart of this universe and right now you are reminding me why I love it so. Thank you.”

"can i still be aro if i'm ____?"
"can i still be aro if i'm dating someone?"
"can i still be aro if i said _____ to someone?"
"can i still be aro if i feel ____?"
there's no "wrong" or "right" way to be aromantic, aromantic is a spectrum and it goes beyond by a lot so yes if your aromantic, it doesn't matter how you feel/act or do, if you know your aromantic. you are aromantic.

normalize being a little bit in love with your friends
normalize being not at all in love with anything
normalize love being confusing and weird as hell
normalize love not being romantic
normalize love not being
normalize not loving
normalize loving in the wrong way
just. normalize being unapologetically yourself

love is not required. it's not some magical ability that makes you a good person. it's just a thing some people have little of, some people have a lot of, and some people have medium amounts of. and all states of love come with their own struggles. no one's worth is measured on their ability to love

What if I told you that “aromantic people, by and large, are not inherently incapable of feeling love” and “feeling the emotion of love is not required to be a good person” and “it’s an individual person’s choice whether to call something love or not” and “broadening the definition of love is inherently a resistance against amatonormative systems which seek to control the contexts in which love can be expressed” and “both loving differently and not loving at all are valid and vital methods of resistance against those systems” are all compatible statements that can coexist

i was talking to my grandma this morning about how the holidays are really hard as the only single adult at the table, and i really appreciated my grandma’s understanding she agreed that it’s hard and said “you live in a couple’s world”
it’s so true and we talk about it all the time as the aromantic community but to hear my 83 year old grandma affirm me like that made me feel really seen

Living well with your aromanticism, not despite of it, gets easier when you notice that this world wasn't made for you. You are not restricted by expectations, you don't have to follow a pre-planned course of steps to what happiness should be at; being aromantic can bring upon you the will to mold your life to whatever shape you want, because you know fully well what's expected won't fulfill you. Instead, you have the power and time to find what does.
You can live alone, unabashedly happy, surrounded by the little things that give you comfort.
You can build meaningful, long-lasting relationships that have not even a hint of romance.
You can have fleeting relations with people that make you feel good and not deepen your bond.
You can have one-night stands and leave before the morning comes if it feels right for you.
You can be present in your family or community, helping and being helped by people you trust and feel like a gift of being part of.
You can hear stories from the mouth of your companions and elders, and tell your own.
You can find beauty where people don't usually care to look at, revel in how much wonder is within you.
You can do what people usually feel like they need a romantic partner to do, without the limitations or complications one would need to fit themself around; ranging for dates to caring for children.
You can pursue hobbies, engage with art and craftsmanship, explore nature, do research, fill your days with the joy of creation all by yourself, just because you can.
The world was not built for you, but it doesn't mean it can't fill your days with joy, or that you can never belong in it. There is so much more than romance.

There are ways of expanding the definition of love that do not imply or outright state that love is a universal experience, that love has moral significance, or that everyone must experience love. Expanding the definition of love and rejecting the idea of love are both pushbacks against amatonormativity and should work together rather than throw loveless people under the bus by creating amatonormativity 2.0
