Happy International Asexuality Day!
Thank you to all the wonderful ace or ally authors out there sharing the ace experience in their stories. My journey toward accepting and understanding my asexuality began reading and writing ace characters' experiences here, and I'll always be grateful for that.
A big thank you to the @TripleACommunity for the work you're doing featuring stories featuring aromantic and asexual characters and spreading awareness. I highly recommend checking out their reading lists as you'll find fantastic stories there.
On a closing note, I just wanted to add love looks different for everyone. It can be having someone navigate your hardest days with you and fully support your recovery. It can be exploring new places together. It may be a tender embrace, a hand squeeze, or a shared enamoured smile. It can be romantic or platonic, and it's all valid and wonderful. I hope my fellow aces feel that today and carry that feeling for the rest of the year :)
