Everyone keeps saying I’m in love, I’m falling in love… but what is love??

Like does anybody actually know??

How do you fall in love?

How do you even know you’re in love?

And do you think nowadays it’s just for aesthetics and nobody actually knows what they’re talking about??

Because I genuinely don’t understand it.

Like—

If you like someone’s appearance → that’s attraction

If you can’t stop thinking about them → that’s infatuation

If you can’t function without them → that’s attachment

If your mood depends on them → that’s dependence

If it’s “you are mine” → that’s ego

If you are obsessed with them → that’s obsession

So if you strip all these things away, then remains an uncomfortable question:

WHAT IS LOVE??

Like , does anybody have an actual answer? Please tell me.

The only explanation that makes sense to me is:

love is not “she is mine” but “I’m hers” — becoming of your loved one.

And still the question remains the same…

Just finished Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney and okay the plot twist was GOOD like I genuinely did not see that coming but

Why was Adam reacting that way when he literally knew he caused the accident 😭

And maybe I’m missing something but the ending felt weirdly incomplete to me. Like I genuinely thought there was going to be another twist or something because the book never properly explains if October or henry Winter's agents death was actually suicide or murder.

And Adam’s face blindness was such a central part of the story but then there’s is this scene where he recognizes Robin in the restaurant even though she didn’t raise her hand and was wearing a dress he had never seen before like how did he recognize her???

Idk the second half was definitely better and the twist was GOOD but I feel like the ending could’ve been done a little better honestly.

I think it’s high time we all accept that yes we are beautiful but WE ALL CANNOT BE CONVENTIONALLY ATTRACTIVE. We all can’t be THAT GIRL and honestly that’s okay. Yes it is.

Even I’m not conventionally attractive and that’s okay or I pretend it is but whatever.

Forcing everybody into the same standard is helping nobody. I think half of our inner debates would calm down if we just stop trying to tell ourselves we’re pretty—no you read that right, see I’m one of you too—but let’s just accept na that we are not that conventionally attractive and focus on much more important things bcz ik how much time this one thought takes.

And it’s not black and white, how can it be?

And yes we all have proofs. We’ve all seen those pretty girls win. The attention, the privilege, the way people treat them differently—boys yes ik you have that thought too—all of it is a BIG YES. You are not hallucinating that. And wait, that’s not going to change. This is going to be like this, they are going to get better things, more attention and all but that’s okay bcz what else can we do.

But yeah… it’s just that thought again and again.

just accept it yrr maybe this way it will hurt a Lil less
