hey aromantic people

you are so lucky

that you cant feel heartbreak by someone you love

because it is so painful

Aromantic people can feel heartbreak by people they love.

The celebrities we admire revealing that they’re not as wonderful as we thought. Our families that don’t accept us as who we are. Our friends that decide we’re not worth it anymore. Our pets that we might lose to illness or the ram of a car’s hard bumper.

Everyone who says we’re lucky to be aromantic would take it back in a heartbeat if they were put in our places. We’re not lucky. We’re often lonely and sad and filled with self-hatred. Most, if not all of us, spend days and weeks and months and years wondering why we can’t just fall in love like the rest of society can. Being aromantic can be just as painful as a romantic heartbreak.

Stop telling us we’re lucky for being something that society loathes.
