Reality is Overrated.

The best way to get rid of an obsession is to get a new one.

In 2014, when you were proudly leading the charge of the Twizzler fandom/League of ShibStans, you were LITERALLY WHO I WANTED TO BE WHEN I GREW UP. I was Baby and I was freaking Invested. Hung on your every word. I was too young to understand your Alex Shib thirst posts but I enjoyed them. One year you got paired up with my other favorite skating blogger for secret Santa and I fangirled. Is this creepy? Maybe. But I was Baby and Hyperfixated. You actually lowkey shaped my childhood. Good job bro

Oh my goodness this is the cutest thing ever thank you!!! 

I too was a BabyTM in many many fandoms so I’m happy that I was a part of your journey :D

While I am much more of a lurker nowadays than a poster, I cherish those days during the peak of my obsession immensely. 

And hey, stick with those obsessions!!! 17/18 year old me in 2014 would be gobsmacked to learn that 24 year old me works with some of the people she used to post about! (And yes, working professionally with people that you used to fan-girl over can be JARRING... but amazing!)

Sometimes I forget about how intense my past obsessions were until I get SUCKED back into them at the same level of intensity as I left them

Of course, the one thing some believe to be lacking, a component many consider a necessity in ice dancing: sensuality….
