I need to stop reading romance because I finish reading that shit and I'm left feeling empty and hit with realization that I'll never get to experience that type of love irl 💔

It is sad to not being able to find true love irl 💔 but i still dream and hope that my person is somewhere out there also hoping for me.

tbh maybe this is the ace in me but most romances (at least the ones I read, maybe I’m reading the wrong ones) are toxic as hell, and the ones that aren’t seem stressful af. nine times out of ten, the third act breakup convinces me they shouldn’t be together in the first place but maybe I’m just a hater 😭

I only read romance after a heavy read because it’s a light read. The plots are too cheesy and mostly never happen irl. Like, I’m not getting kidnapped, if I do no one other than my parents is looking for me and that’s real for a lot of people. Like most times they are so looks parallel, nothing about real personality.

perhaps, I think it's a matter of perspective cuz i honestly believe people are typically bound to disagree and there's beauty in moving past that

oh no disagreeing is normal, but I feel like the third act breakup is always something like “they refuse to communicate and then jump to the least charitable conclusion and then argue in a completely unproductive way and then either the wrong person apologies or the person in the wrong gives a non-apology and then they’re happily ever after”

like again maybe I’m a hater and also I’m not saying romance is bad, I love me a good romance, but I think I’ve been spoiled with a four-year drama free relationship because man oh man I don’t know how romantic leads do it 😭

I could skip a few chapters and read and I’d know exactly what was happening. It’s boring and unhappening and I don’t want to be loved that way, just gives me the ick.
