He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him. And don’t expect for more than he can give. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad… and miss him when he’s not there. Love when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist… but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.

ā€œEven now, as broken as you may feel, you are still so strong. There’s something to be said for how you hold yourself together and keep moving, even though you feel like shattering. Don’t stop. This is your healing. It doesn’t have to be pretty, or graceful. You just have to keep goingā€

#real #not to be salty but this is what ive been saying#like everyone out here really still acting like fanfic isnt really writing#like its subpar and like it cant be good and have amazing lines#even fanfic writers treat it like its LESS and like theyre PLAY writing and not actually writing#like friend buddy ican ASSURE YOU that fanfic is every bit as real and good as writing from books#the only difference between fic and actual books is that books go through several stages of processing and editing and filtering#and are worked on by professionals who studied the craft of editing#while fanfiction cuts that filtering and everyone gets a chance to be heard and to be read#and instead of editors we have peer editing and reviewing#dont be fucking tricked by the mass notion that anything that young girls and queer people are interested in is immediately bad and subpar#bc it is fucking not #i will FIGHT for it #fanfictionĀ (tags by @crossroadswriteĀ bacause they add so much to this post)

The real irony is there is plenty of fanfiction that goes through more rigorous editing than some published fiction. So the difference in quality between fanfiction andĀ ā€œprofessional writingā€ is totally arbitrary and made up. Except that some things that are more expensive are worse.
