The kindest thing you can do for yourself is to become a reader. Read the romance. Read the fantasy. Read the mystery. Read all kinds of literature. But never pick up a self-help book
Matilda did not walk her four-year-old self to the public library every afternoon to soak up every possible moment she could in the comfort of books and joy of learning for you to not take advantage of your local library’s innumerable charms
just leaving this here bc i think we all know why this has to be said & it’s really really sad b/c Cynthia deserves space and respect, and at the end of the day, we’re her fans. not her personal friends. boundaries are important !
Friendly reminder that it’s perfectly normal to have opinions even if you don’t like them. I formed them after witnessing events with my own ears and eyeballs. That is the beauty of being a person. Yay!
I legit have nothing to lose so I am speaking my truth: it makes me so sick that someone so manipulative has weaseled their way into photos and meet&greets etc with cynth*a er*vo. She’s such a talented artist and a kind soul who doesn’t see the vindictiveness behind this fan.
Watching all of this happen has really dampened my spirits, made me take a step back from the wicked fandom, the Cynthia fandom, and social media in general. I’ve lost good friends over it, and it’s costed my mental health and I’m so so tired.
She’s smart, she knows exactly what to say to people to get them to like and trust her, and she distances herself from people who see the truth. I hope one day other fans see her true intentions and distance themselves from her but it probably won’t happen.
I’ve watched for months as this fan has used her money & influence to get closer to cyn, get certain people into her bed, & grow her own social following. She’s not doing anything illegal but she’s also not a good person… and the fact that she gets so far is so frustrating.
Not a lot of people talk about how lonely it is when you’re the friend everyone always calls for advice or to talk through problems but then when you need a lil pick me up your phone is a ghost town
