It took me many, many years of having my life ruined by Shonda Rhimes to realize that the world won\u2019t end if I stop watching a television show. Just because it once gave me sky high feelings doesn\u2019t mean I have to pull out all the stops to try and prolong the emotional roller coaster ride. When you\u2019ve fangirled for a few decades, you learn to cope with the reality that one day you will wake up, look at a photo of your favorite actress, and discover that the feeling is just\u2026GONE. Or you\u2019ll watch your ship sink and shrug your shoulders, knowing that two more random idiots will soon enter your life and reign supreme. For every ship there is a season. A time to weep, and a time to read every smut fan fic you can possibly find, and a time to move on. The 30-year-old fangirl gets this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nweapons we carry into battle as we conquer in all arenas of life.
\nThey\u2019re the voices of our favorite characters who remind us what we\u2019re
\ncapable of.<\/p>\n

THIS. YES.<\/p>\n
