as a chronic cynical misanthrope i'm starting to get why romance novels are so popular.
#from my writing desk#having a crush is so weird#more than half of it is pure fantasy constructed in your head about what you'd like to happen or what would be nice if it happened#then it doesn't match up with reality at all#that makes it sound like a bad thing but it's... not? not entirely#the fantasy can be uplifting and motivating and provide you with something positive to hold onto#even among the general disappointment that is... people being people and thus not characters starring in your narrative#so then i get why so many women are drawn to these heavily constructed fantasies#but again i am a cynical misanthrope so i'm largely like meh. it's nice to indulge because it has given me things. good things.#and helped me know myself in newer ways i thought i'd resolved years back#but it's like. it's silly isn't it. it's clownery. i'm not gonna be sad when it passes.
