An abiding feature of my adolescent years has been fangirlism. While the objects of my affections have varied with time, the manifestations of my emotional involvement remained the same. From sportspeople to Harry Potter to movie actors, I was always certain of two things- the everlasting bond I shared with them, and the uniqueness of this bond. Conversely, the sense of being in a community with other fanatics who shared similarly “unique bonds” only served to strengthen this bond.
I still have soft spots for all of my everlasting loves, though their place is currently occupied by other everlasting loves. Adolescent or not, one part of me will always remain a naive fangirl.
