42, 46, 50, 62
42. I most definitely agree with you. I find the power/confidence really attractive -- their motives are often mysterious. Understanding why a man would become a serial killer is more interesting to me than why a man would become a cop. I'm certainly not going to destroy the world -- but in fandom? Fiction? Bring on the bad guys.
~~~
46. Don't be discouraged. It's a hard thing trying to be creative when you're constantly surrounded by other people who are good at what they do. But some of the best artists and writers in the history of the world were plagued by self-doubt and insecurities. I mean, just look at Van Gogh or Hemmingway! That's not to put pressure on you to be the next BIG THING -- but to say that everyone feels that way sometimes. Regardless of whether you think other people are better than you, you should try to step away from it and look at WHY you write or create in the first place. If you do it because you enjoy it -- if you do it because you find it fulfilling -- if you do it because there's a need or a passion in you to make things (whether you ever share them or not) -- then you should never give up. Just because some people might seem to shine brighter, doesn't mean you're not a star.
~~~
50. You should be lucky there *are* still fangirls. Don't be bitter. You've never known loneliness until you're suddenly the LAST ONE IN THE CLUB. Believe me, you don't want that.

62. That's beautiful. This secret made me truly happy. It's inspiring to know that people aren't all jaded -- that somewhere there are still kind people who enjoy each other's company and are all content loving the same thing, even if the fandom is small. I had that once. I'd give anything to have it again. You're very lucky, and I'm glad that you recognize that and cherish it. <3
