Good Vibes

Sometimes I think that I could be the beautiful sword wielding girl with a dark past then I have the misfortune of remembering that I'm a fucking nerd who uses books as escapism.

I want someone to love me the way men love in books

look, im just naturally flirtatious and have a wonderful personality so it's obvious that you'll eventually fall in love with me but im not your soulmate i swear.

*stares out of window dreaming of sword fighting my mortal enemy in an abandoned castle*

childhood is all about loving heroes and maturity is all about understanding villians

the feminine urge to fall in love with the villain.

eldest daughter syndrome and gifted kid syndrome are some great examples of phrases used to talk about specific kinds of trauma that the internet has taken and turned into "boo hoo these people arent special anymore so theyre lashing out!!" it was never about that you fucking cunts

eldest daughter sydrome is about a very specific trauma that comes with being expected to parent for younger siblings and even your parents as a literal child and how badly it fucks you and your perception of yourself and what you're capable of doing up. gifted kid syndrome is about how a "smart" label is slapped onto kids at a horribly young age and then they are repeatedly denied help forced to do more and more work never taught socialization or study skills and then berated and treated like a disappointment when they're human beings instead of little intelligence machines. god.

i was fucking right about this honestly. most phrases like this are about certain kinds of trauma people have faced not about some kind of fucking superiority complex

ladies we need to start frantically and obsessively reading books in less than 24 hours again..remember how happy we were

yeah romance books may be shit but they’re MY shit so leave me alone so i can fall in love with those characters and daydream with a love like that
