Why Normal Girls Cry: Boyfriends, breakups, getting rejected...normal things
Why I cry: Fictional characters, when my OTP looks at each other, my ships, fanfiction, pictures of hot, unattainable celebrities, parts in books where characters I liked die, when I watch the movie i've been waiting for FOREVER
In approved places, every story serves a purpose. But forbidden books are so much more. Some of them are webs; you can feel your way along their threads, but just barely, into strange and dark corners. Some of them are balloons bobbing up through the sky: totally self contained, and unreachable, but beautiful to watch.
And some of them-the best ones-are doors.
