I get too attached to books. I know every book person says this but books literally drag my whole mood down for days-weeks at a time. Say, for instance about three weeks ago I read the book Willow by Julia Hoban. It's a great great book. It's heavy though, in the Young Adult genre kind of way. She's a cutter, messed up childhood, her parents die, she doesn't know how to deal with emotions, ETC. The book itself is just so depressing, despite the somewhat happy ending it just brought me down. I'm sure if I was a regular-self manipulator(this is worded weird) I would have been very triggered because it affected my mood that much.

And I'm very embarrassed to say this... Twilight did the same thing to me! 7th grade me wanted a boyfriend and/or love interest so bad, Twilight was like a punch in the face that no guy would measure up to that good ol' Edward Cullen was. It's honestly just depressing that books effect my mood that way, because I can't enjoy them to their full extent because I'm too busy being sad FROM the book.

I can't ever win.

I think I might have used the wrong there/their up there. How embarrassing.
