Flying Toe Shoes

( Essay #2: Behind the FacadeCollapse )

So between making hot chocolate and long bus rides where I should be studying Japanese or some other such... I instead get deep thinky thoughts about fandom. Especially shows I once loved and now am wondering where they went wrong.

AKA. Lexi has unpopular fandom thoughts. And instead of posting this on tumblr where I will be ripped apart because HOW DARE I NOT WORSHIP AT THE CULT OF DOUCHEBAGGERY AND PRETTY BOYS, I'm writing it here. Where... all of one person will read it unless I link them to it.....

( In a word, the problem is oversaturationCollapse )

What do I do
When opposing views both make sense
I don't know what's the best for me
I don't know anything right now
I'm sorry
I miss you
But is it you?
Or just the memory?

What do I trust
When everything is screaming at me
Everything is a lie
No one is to be trusted
There are a select few I trust
But it doesn't help
Because everything you say
Seems to be a lie
I want to believe you
Even if it means you were hurt
Because I don't want to think that you'd stoop so low
As to manipulate me

So what do I do?
Should I contact you?
Risk pain to both of us?
Even though it could be good for us?
Or do I pretend not to know
All the while knowing it's hurting us both?
