Shout out to aros who realized they weren’t aro later in life. 

You weren’t “fake” or “going through a phase”. People grow and learn more about themselves all the time. Identifying as one thing during a point in your life because it helped you describe how you were feeling is nothing to be ashamed of.

Additionally, shout out to aros who didn’t realize they were aro until later in life.

There is a lot of pressure these days to find a romantic partner, and it can often force you to be in a romantic relationship when you are not comfortable with it.
