The reason why I love otome games so much:
Society: Youāre socially awkward. You should try making friends. The way you laugh is weird. You need to lose some weight. Get a boyfriend. Donāt spend so much time on the internet. Study more, relax less. Your outfit sucks. No one will ever love you if you donāt start acting friendlier. That test was so easy, how could you fail it? You look so tired, itās repulsing. Whatās wrong with you, canāt you speak properly? Stop complaining about being bullied, there are people that have it worse than you!
This is my healthy obsession.
Because, each time you make me feel worthless, lonely, abnormal, or insecure, I find relief in these words of comfort. Because, whenever the truth of my existence tries to tear me down, Iāll always have my dreams, my fictional characters, and my little otome world. Because, despite being stuck in this shallow, judgemental society, I know that I can freely swing from a universe to another. Because I am given the opportunity to live inside my head, away from you.
Oh, you think I am detached from reality? Youāre wrong. I am deeply, emotionally, and entirely connected to the reality of my own feelings, my own pleasure, my own selfā¦ I am blind and immune to your idiotic rules, your typical expectations, your mocking laughter, and your unjustified insults. I choose to Ā acknowledge the people, things and activities that make me happy. I choose to convert reality as I enjoy it, turning it into my own happiness. I am a human being. I am able to create my own reality.
āDonāt ever be ashamed of loving the strange things that make your weird little heart happy.ā
Otome games make me happy. Itās as simple as that.Ā
This isĀ a post of appreciation. Voltage, thank you for putting a smile on my face, whenever I feel sad. :)
(That ended up sounding more dramatic than I expected. But I hope I am not the only one that feels this way. xD)Ā
