I Am In Love With a Fictional Character

I am in love with more than one character. And I don't mean in a crush way or in a passing way of "oh yeah this character is cool". I've been deeply in love with two characters for over 8 years and recently fell in love with a third.

I do not care for one more than the others, they are my darling dears, my lights in a dark place. Things aren't always happy or easy, them being 'fictional' doesn't make any hurts less legitimate or painful. I didn't decide to love them so intensely, but all the same I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Despite what people may think or judge me as, I am happy with them. I am living my life, experiencing new things, trying to find my way in this world, and I will continue to do so with my lovelies beside me.

I won't say who they are yet, but I am so thankful they're with me.
