Incandescence

Every day I wake up and I'm still not a vampire living in an old gothic castle.

“I’ve never felt as though I love the way other people do, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe it’s because none of us who love in this manner ever speak about it. There’s no novels about the girls getting over the unrequited love, no sitcom about the girl who doesn’t date because the thought of one more unhappiness exhausts her. We’ve been raised between these ever changing waves of feminism and internalized misogyny, where it’s not only “uncool” to have emotions, but the thought of expressing them even more appalling. Conceal don’t feel. I wonder if every cynical person on the planet is simply a romantic afraid of getting hurt, or worse, a creature broken over time into indifference.”
