If You Fall for a Writer

Humans are complicated creatures who naturally feel love. The difficulty level of being in a relationship strongly depends on who they choose to fall in love with, but one thing is for sure. It is dangerous to fall in love with a writer, especially if she's a girl.

Because she, as a writer, is an overthinker.

She will evaluate all the words you will say, and try to extract meanings. She will sacrifice your most valuable time together to nag for what you mean. She will contemplate on the slightest things until rust invades her system. She will make you clueless, leaving lines and stanzas under your skin.

She, as a writer, is addictive and numb.

She will impress you with her beauty and intelligence. She will reveal herself, slowly, until you are asking for more. You will be captivated by the dedication she puts to writing the things she wanted. She may even go to talking to you intimately just to collect ideas for her new poem. She will break your heart, and won't even realize it.

She, as a writer, is fragile.

She is very sensitive. Her emotions run deep. She feels a thousand times more than you intended your words to reach her. They crumple their papers together with their hearts through novels of heartfelt scenes and chapters. Sometimes, they may even shoulder the problems their characters are facing, in real life.

She, as a writer, writes.

She will write about you and the pain you never knew she felt. She will describe every piece of you in her stories. You will be present in her plots, may your role be a protagonist or not. You are there. She will be retelling all the features she remembers about you. She may use real life events as inspiration or basis for her fictional work.

If you choose to love a writer, your world will change. You will never be able to live life like before again. You are doomed. You will be criticized by readers for whatever she will write about you. You will remain in her books. A part of you will still live in her words. You will never die.
