My name is Ariel. I'm 21 years young and going on 22, in the prime of my life and trying to live it large, listening to metal and classical shit all the way. I headbang and dress up like anime characters. I sing but I don't dance. I mix everything up and mismatch my socks. I try to be deep by writing in melodramatic prose when I'm actually that plain looking girl (yes, GIRL) that sits next to you on the bus or in the movie theater. I work a dead-end job, have a dead-end major, and tons of dead-end dreams. I pour them all into this blog, which will be the only legacy I am likely to leave. Not that anyone will pay attention. What do you care, right?

When people turn to fictional characters, it’s often because they want an escape. The stories of these people shelter us from the storm of our daily lives; they save us, if only for a little while. But when we really give in, become invested, let ourselves be vulnerable, something changes. We begin to feel that we know them. It’s no longer just an escape, but part of us, something that makes us who we are.
These characters teach us that incredible adversity can be overcome. That people can love each other forever. That life can be an adventure. That magic can be real. And even if these miracles have never happened to us, we begin to go through life believing that, someday, they could.
“And I promise you that you’re important. Don’t look at me like that- in all my 900 years I’ve never met someone who wasn’t important.”
“Cheer up mate, it gets better. Look at me, I was once a little kid living under the stairs. You’ll do fine.”
“Hey. I know it seems like life sucks, that you’ve got the devil on your tail. Hell, sometimes you do. But you’re strong enough to beat him. You’ve got friends at your back and family too, and that’s what really counts in the end.”
“Don’t be silly, they’re wrong about you; of course you matter. You’ve always mattered.”
