Falling Slowly

Nothing pissed me off more than fairy tales.

The impossible clichés of the nerd getting the girl, the impossible non reality of the geek getting the cheerleader.

Many of us have fallen into this trap, getting caught in the illusion that we have a chance with them, the populars, the ones that we look up to, and wish to be.

I did, and look where this got me. Scrawling notes in my journal, desperately falling in love with someone that never noticed me, never acknowledged me.

So, dear reader, I hope you will learn from my mistakes.
