You are brilliant, I swear

Do you ever just look around you and realize that you're just here, that's it, just where you are, you're not flying through space and time with The Doctor, you're not fighting to save the world side by side with the Avengers, you're not hunting demons with the Winchesters, you're not solving incredible crimes, you're not battling with the nights of the round table and you're most certainly not fighting fire breathing dragons that sound like Benedict Cumberbatch, you're just sitting there, on the computer, just there and not over there.

You never really think of these things until you're alone and it's quiet, those thoughts though are not good, they'll crush your heart and soul before you even realize it's happened. I wish I could say that I know what to do about those thoughts, those little demons crawling their way through your envious heart, but I don't because some days they are just there and you can't pull away from them; They've got you and you can't get rid of them until you finally get to fall asleep that night, but what a waste of a day! That's what makes me mad, you have to deal with these stupid, annoying demons and you've got things to do, and just trying to push those thoughts away won't help. The minute you pull the cake out of the oven you'll just be reminded that it's not a bomb you're disabling to save the city or when people always pass you by, so you start thinking that you're not the brilliant protagonist in you're story, maybe you're just a red shirt or just another background face for the hero but let me tell you, That's Not True!

Don't you see?! the thoughts that are holding you back are the very thoughts you need! The monsters are just turning it all round in you're head! Because those fictional lives that you adore more than anything in the world aren't there to hinder you, they're there to inspire you! To make you a better person, not because you're any less important than them but because it's their jobs! It's their job to give you hope or courage or inspiration! Anything that you need! Just because there's a little voice in your head that is telling you that you're less than or worthless than the people on the screens or on the pages, doesn't mean it's true! Don't believe everything that the voices in your heart are saying, chances are they're wrong, think it through and realize that the worlds that are in your head are everything and more of the things your heart longs for, you've got everything up there, the adventures, the honor, the sweet private moments that you feel you're missing and most of all the brilliance of all that makes you, you!

You take these brilliant words that you love and you take them for what they were meant to be, truth, and not what the little monsters twist them into, like the doubt, the anxiety or the feeling that you could have never come up with that on your own because that's just an illusion. The monsters are wrong! and chances are they're just little pieces of yourself that have given up for some reason or another and that means that you can beat them! They've got their little party tricks that make you want to curl up and give up but they're weak! And they're desperate! You, my dear have followed the characters that you love through thick and thin and you would do it all over again in a heartbeat, these screeching, incessant imps are nothing an adventurer like yourself can't handle.

You've got this. You're a professional fangirl/fanboy, and you've got shit to do, so don't push the monsters into a corner of your mind, fight 'em! Show them who's boss and then make yourself a cup of tea, you've earned it, tiger.
