Or embrace reality?

Someone said this to me just recently... "Live life, embrace the change"

I appreciated the support in this message, it was genuine.  But inside, it isn't a change.  It's who I been a VERY long time, but had no idea what it was.  So to me.  I am not changing.  I am being realistic.  Real with who I am.  

What do ya'll think about this?

If I read about you in a book, I would think the character was a bit too far-fetched. So pretty unicorn-ish indeed.

 

This got a smile from me :)

ah ok, still a cool pick, and i cant wait to see what they draw for you

Me too, they were very honored with my request.  It will be probably a month or so before they are finished, with school, work and also they have some commissions to complete.  But Dad gets art for free :)

welcome!

Yep, thats a feeling which resonates with me as well, good to see you here.

also i love your picture, looks like we have another artist here!

The picture currently is borrowed, therefore I made sure I used one that had the watermark in it.  BUT my daughter, they are an artist and I am having her draw me up something of this nature, and it will be replaced with that one.  My kid, they are in art college currently.  

Thank you for the welcome!  I am hoping to find the support and all that stuff here!  I might be 41 but I am not done searching! 

Hello!  41 year old dude here joining in on the community.  Not many people are like me in real life out here.  Sometimes I feel like a unicorn.  Nice to met all ya fellow Aro's!  Just a little about me, I recently discovered I am a Poly-Aro-Sexual through therapy.  I can date, I can have fun, but as soon as the romance hits, and it goes from a platonic understand and fun, I become a shell of myself.  A lot of history but its nice to finally figure out I am not a bad dude, I was just in the wrong situations.  I currently have a gay platonic soulmate in my life, and she is wonderful.  Also my daughter is in transition, stealing all my old spice!  So yeah, I am an old head from the new gen.  Who wants to platonically laugh and cry with me?  :D

Just found out.  Have a bi friend who is also my platonic soulmate.  She was telling me about only feeling romantic with women and not men, even though we have had sex.  So I had 100 questions and I started to feel really stupid at 41 years old not understanding what the difference was.  So after some therapy and soul searching I did a lot of reflecting over past relationships.  My entire life I thought the platonic love was what romance was supposed to be.  Now I get why I failed at relationships as soon as it turned from platonic to romantic.  I just thought I was not a normal dude.  I never crushed, never did flings.  And the feeling in your stomach when romance arises. Feels like swallowing nails.  I sometimes feel guilty and want to call my exes to apologize for wasting their time.
