It is a truth universally acknowledged...

yes. please!


I just realized why I love Jane Austen novels so much. 
They don't make me feel like I need a man in order to be happy. Sure, all her heroines end up with the guys they have longed for. But, they pretty much do it on their own terms. 
I just watched Pride and Prejudice for the millionth time, and I don't feel like I wish I had someone. I love the fact that despite the fact she kind of has to get married, and Darcy is rich, she is still witty and sarcastic and doesn't let Darcy get away with things (and Elizabeth isn't supposed to look like Keira Knightley. She's supposed to be normal looking and be attractive because of her mind and wit not because she is some weird hot girl that all the dudes wanna see naked). She changes when she realizes that she was wrong to be so quick to judge, but she doesn't run around like Lydia trying to impress every man on the earth. 
Maybe I'll get some smart, rich, handsome man too. So I'll stay witty and awesome and wait for someone to realize my awesomeness.
