There's absolutely no shame in loving stories no matter how old you are, of course, but there's also no shame in losing your love for a story that you used to love.

There's no shame in moving past an old favorite, it's okay to no longer be reading fics for the thing nor feel particularly excited about seeing posts talking about it, there's nothing wrong with not really caring anymore, other than a vague nostalgic "ah yes, that old thing" feeling.

It's okay to move on. It's okay to grow past something, and it has nothing to do with age, but rather with time. Every story has its time and place. Some stories stay with you until your dying day; others resurrect after years of quiet.

And others just get... left behind. Something to look back on fondly, perhaps, but never really in your life anymore.

And that's okay.

#hi this is a letter addressed to my grief over Inuyasha #but honestly anyone can reblog it; I think it fits for a lot of people #be it a childhood fave or a teenaged obsession or even a recent hyperfixation that suddenly vanished #most of my 'faves' are just more.... tempered now (ie Disney and Harry Potter)#but I still get PASSIONATE about them or have passionate discussions about them #and I definitely still squee over other beloved anime titles and couples #but for some reason.... my lukewarm feeling for Inuyasha hurts the most #so this is to all you fans out there grieving for the loss of the love you had for something dear to you #it's okay to move on it's okay to recognize that your old fave had its place but now it's time to shelve it #Starling ramblings #fandom stuff #anime #Inuyasha #Harry Potter #Disney #(it's ironic that I can 'grow past' the likes of Inuyasha but still shamelessly adore Disney movies and Harry Potter lmao)#that's why I say it has nothing to do with age but rather TIME #some things stick with you no matter how old you get; others come and go
