Excerpt from Charles Warnke’s “You Should Date an Illiterate Girl.” It’s worth a read, check it out.

Read this. It is beautiful and contrary and it makes my heart sing one word: YES.

Does it make me a bad person that this one quote puts me off? Because…I dunno, I get overly high expectations and attempting to fit the other person/s into your dream mold make for bad relationships, but I just don’t like this quote because like UGH JUST SAY YOU CAN’T MOLD PEOPLE INTO STORY-DREAMS AND YOU SHOULDN’T TRY. DON’T TELL PEOPLE THEY ARE WRONGBAD FOR READING BIG BOOKS BY OLD AUTHORS AND FOR DREAMING AND FOR MAKING THINGS UP AND SDHFKSJHDFBLURGH I AM PUT OFF AND I AM SORRY THIS IS IN CAPS AND POSSIBLY THAT I CANNOT READING COMPREHENSION TODAY I JUST DO. NOT. LIKE. THIS. QUOTE.

But I suppose I don’t really like “Date A Girl Who Reads” either, because to me the message seems to be “this type of girl is superior” and I don’t like that because there is no superior type of girl there is no wrong way to be a girl and I will date whosofuckingever I choose, thankyouverymuch. And if the post makes no sense, which it probably doesn’t by now, I am really sorry for dumping this on your dash.
