for those of you unfamiliar- a manic pixie dream girl is an archetype female character whose purpose is to bring the male protagonist to some realization of a fuller life. she's an effortless angel, she's into literature and art and has a quiet disdain for normalcy, she will tell you she loves you and show you you have purpose.
but she doesn't.
have a purpose, that is. she's not allowed to. of course she'll tell you about her dream to drop everything and move to europe, but that's not the point. the point is for you to be inspired by her temeracious outlook, for her to point to greener grass and for you to find it.
so why would anyone want to be this girl? of course her life seems perfect at first but anyone with half a brain could realize they didn't want to live that life. a life of always guiding others and never finding yourself. but for some reason i want it.
i think i'm driven by some desire to reach someone else. i sometimes feel abstracted from the world, like i cannot touch it. but if i can be a manic pixie dream girl, i can get to someone. one person. i can break off the glass gloves that keep my hands so clean and do something.
i should really work on a healthier way to do that.

i live this life, of a manic pixie dream girl, or at least I relate to so much in what you wrote. I just wanted to let you know that you're perfect just the way you are. sometimes we'll never realize how many people we impact
