It seems to be that every asexual has scoured the internet searching for more information about their identity. With information brings validation and comfort. Binge watching the select few ace YouTubers. Reading every inch of AVEN’s quorums. Finding the only real results of personal experiences from other aces on Reddit.

And after all of that is said and done, I seem to sit here with some more comfort than where I started, but that empty feeling is still there. Muted, but present. 

It’s an unspoken rite of passage to find an asexual community online. However, it’s difficult to find true connections. Sometimes all you need is an ear to listen. A TikTok to send someone. A text to a friend with yet another way allos confuse you. There are in fact limits to the internet. What every asexual needs, in my humble opinion, is another asexual. 

So, here I am! 

After hunting around the internet I found no solid answer in what I was looking for. A blog of a fellow ace, just talking about their personal experiences. One that was up and running, with somewhat recent posts. Preferably something besides a 2010 tumblr phase. 

How did my hypothetical blogger realize they were ace? What was their favorite song with ace vibes? What character were they convinced was queer coded? What were their ace book recs? How do their relationships work, QPR or not? 

When I couldn’t find such a thing, it became clear I must create my own. 

Hi. I’m Jadey. I’m 18. Asexual. I’m attending a tiny private liberal arts school to study English with a minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies. I have two cats. I love cake. I’m in love with Conan Gray. I CrossFit and paint my nails all the time. I want to be a writer and this is my starting place. I’m out to my family and friends and now the whole internet. I’m in a QPR with the most amazing person who I love an indescribable amount. I don’t know how long blog posts are supposed to be or how they really work so I think this is enough for a silly little blog post about my silly little ace life. Hopefully someone finds this and it’s exactly what they were looking for.
