Ignoring the ridiculous part about "not being able to marry the character" and whatnot.

I understand the feeling, though. Growing older than your favorite characters can be a strange and unsettling experience. There's one character who I'm remarkably similar to in a lot of ways (and I almost never identify with characters like that, so it's not just me going LOL THE X TO MY Y or whatever). This character's life starts turning around when he's 22, and that was kind of inspiration for me--you know, to make me think that my life would start to turn around by the time I was 22, too.

Not everything in my life is the same as it's always been, but for the most part, I'm still stuck in the same rut. And now I'm 23. And I'm disappointed in myself for not doing enough to change my life. I know it was stupid to think that I'd get out of my rut just because a fictional character got out of his, but I'm still disappointed. I reassure myself with the knowledge that his life didn't really settle down until he was 26 and that means I've still got time, too, but now I'm distinctly aware that I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. Again.
