    Thank you mate. Love what you do. I've really started to love being ace.

    thank you, I wanted to also make some ace content, but I had no idea, so I guess I make one later, which is also important. I am aro and ace (greyrose) with a splash of agender. sorry to hear you have anxiety and depression, I can relate.

    I'm 23, and this marks my first Ace Week as an out-to-myself asexual. It took me a long time to get here, though I knew on some level from the first time I heard the word; I was around eleven or twelve then. Nothing ever changed for me, no matter how hard I tried, begged God, nor hated myself. I had to learn there was nothing wrong with being me; I'm still learning.
    I've only come out to one friend and to others in the ace communities on AVEN and UA-cam. I can't describe how much this community means to me, or how much seeing and getting to know other people like myself has warmed my heart and lifted my spirits. Before this year, I never knew how many of us there were; the visibility is _so_ important.
    I know we're not alone and there's nothing wrong with being ace (and/or aro), even on the days the internalized acephobia (and arophobia) is loudest and I'm struggling to be kind to myself; because I look at my community and I can't see them as anything less than beautiful.
    Happy Ace Week, all.
    🖤🤍💜

      Hi ! It's also my first Ace Week ☺☺ ! It happened at the perfect time because, the idea of me being Ace felt overwhelming for a while before I could calm myself down 😅😅. I'm also newly to myself as Ace ! I'm 29 years old and it took me this long to realize not only I'm bi but I'm also Ace (I don't know the exact label, but ace seems very comfortable at the moment).
      For a longtime I thought being ace meant not feeling sexually attracted to anyone to the point that thinking about sex gross you out, and as valid as that experience can be, it's not my experience so I thought I didn't qualify.
      Like the definition, I experience little to no sexual attraction toward anyone, but my relation to sex is more neutral/indifferent than anything. I'm not opposed to it but I'm not actively seeking it out. It sound like a fun activity and a nice to experience closeness with a partner but I feel like there's so many other ways to be close to someone and have fun, so ... That's my experience 🙂
      I'm still try to figure out what being ace means to me, but reading/listening to ace people sharing their stories and experience help me understand myself and give me the representation I didn't know I've always needed.
      Happy (end of) Ace Week !

    Found this channel not too long ago. I always felt attraction towards any/all genders but I’ve never had that sense of sexual attraction towards any of them. I never really understood what Asexuality was until I dug deeper into the term two years ago. Wished I found out sooner rather than later but I feel so relieved that I came out as Panromantic Demi.

    I loved seeing the Pennsylvania Ace Week proclamation from Governor Josh Shapiro on Marshall John Blount's channel. Hopefully Ace Week can become better recognized outside of our own community.
