The other day, I found myself 72 weeks deep into one of my high school classmate’s Instagram. She, to me, is what you’d describe as #goals. Cute outfits, perfect hair, success and quirky jokes populate her profile. As I scrolled, I couldn’t help but compare myself to her — and then to multiple Zooey Deschanel characters.
We all know a girl like that, don’t we? A girl who is uniquely relatable, dresses as if she stepped out of a Modcloth advertisement and seems to have her life in a perfectly practiced disarray. Usually, we can comfort ourselves with, “Well, that kind of girl is only in the movies, or on TV.” But then we find ourselves 72 weeks deep in the local manic pixie dream girl’s Instagram, and we have to realize that these charming girls walk among us. And, for some reason, we want to be her. Maybe because the life she leads is whimsical or because everyone seems to adore her.
Which, of course, isn’t a bad thing, except when you can’t see yourself as that kind of girl. Sure, the weird habits, awkward jokes and the general uneasy feeling about the tide of life is relatable, but making all of that cute? It’s a lot harder than it looks, especially is it doesn’t come naturally.
And that’s okay because that’s a realistic reaction. We can’t all be Jessica Day on “New Girl” because she’s just a character. Her words, actions, and clothes are planned out specifically to suit the character. We, unfortunately, do not get that luxury, no matter how hard we try.
That’s okay too. We’re beautiful, messy human beings who all have quirks that may or may not be cute. We forget that manic pixie dream girls were created to be the reason that the main character changes, for better or for worse. You are the main character of your story and it’s on your terms that you change, with or without the influence of a certain character. Let’s face it, though: There are other female characters in the media to relate to.
You could see yourself as more of a Liz Lemon, or a Leslie Knope, or a Mindy Lahiri. You could be one of the girls from “Girls," or one of the ladies from “Broad City.” You may even see yourself as Kelly from “Misfits.” None of these women are inferior to the wide-eyed dream girl type. They’re all different, with flaws and triumphs specific to their characters, like us.
That’s what we also have to remember: we could go chasing the image of the “perfect girl” that we often see in Deschanel’s characters. Yet, if the “perfect girl” persona is not true to you, it won’t be worth it. I know that, as much as I long to live in local pixie girl’s social media pages, I wouldn’t really be happy, because her reality does not suit my personality or experiences. The only person who is suited to your life and image is you, so why change to be like someone else? Change is a beautiful thing, but only when you intend to improve yourself, not to lose yourself. Trying to be a Jessica Day type won’t make you instantly happy, if your spirit animal is the Donna Meagle or April Ludgate.
Yes, it’s still hard for me to put down Instagram when the popular girl gets 50 likes for a picture with her ukulele. And yes, I still kind of want to be “adorkable” like that. I’ll be okay though, because I’m personally more like Liz Lemon, and I’m absolutely killing it.
“Our souls were like magnets, drawn together by some unexplainable pull”
It wasn’t love at first sight. It wasn’t desire. It wasn’t a physical attachment, sparking a fire between us. The only way I can explain it was that our bodies suddenly knew each other, our hearts suddenly felt at ease. It was like we were connected before we even spoke words to one another.
It's no secret that the most HATED sign of the zodiacs is the Gemini. We are always accused of being two-faced, stuck up, bipolar and just overall assholes. While the stars may give hints of that here and there, are horoscopes always say otherwise. We are generally really sweet people that would never mean harm to anyone, until they mean harm to us. So, to be CONSTANTLY on all those posts as "100% evil" or "most likely to stab you in the back" it hurts our "black hole" hearts. But here are X reasons that Gemini's are actually the best signs.
There are going to be many steps before we get to solutions after the recent tragedy in Uvalde.
Tragedy recently struck Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. On May 24, a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers. The 18-year-old shooter shot and critically wounded his grandmother prior to arriving at the school. The attacker was eventually killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent, not the police.
I recently had the pleasure to venture out of the little bubble I live in. Why, you ask? Because I complain everyday about how boring my town is, how there is never anything to do and how I want to be adventurous and live my life. So I stopped complaining and I did something about it. I booked a flight to Italy and was off to a foreign country, filled with new ideals, new people, new languages and most importantly, new foods. However, the picture I had painted in my mind didn't seem to quite match up with the picture in front of me. Sure, we see the glamorous photos of supermodels walking down the streets of Rome, shopping bags in hand, licking a gelato, all content. Unfortunately, life is not all sunshine and gelato. I soon learned that traveling out of the U.S. is most certainly a venture out of your comfort zone.
I am not writing this with the intent to insult another country. My family roots are in Italy. However, after this recent trip I have come to realize just how unappreciative I am of the amazing land I live in.
Here are five silly little things (that we all probably have taken for granted at one time or another) that explain why living in the U.S. is just so darn amazing.

In film and literature, a female character, depicted as a cute, quirky free spirit, who is used solely to be the love interest of and further the personal growth of the (often disillusioned or depressed) male protagonist, rather than being a fully realized character. The term was coined by the film critic Nathan Rabin to describe Kirsten Dunst's character in the 2005 film Elizabethtown. It is sometimes abbreviated as "MPDG." Natalie Portman's character in Garden State is often considered a manic pixie dream girl.

As silly as this mind game may seem, I propose that the Manic Pixie Dream Girl Trope (MPDGT) can be viewed as an apparatus of capture.
Rabin coined the term " Manic Pixie Dream Girl " to describe Kirsten Dunst's character in the 2005 film Elizabethtown (2005) in the first installment in an A.V.
Obviously, Rabin is going for comedy, but by overtly contradicting his own definition of the MPDG "as a means to an end, not a flesh-and-blood human being" (3), such that "once life lessons have been imparted, the Manic Pixie Dream Girl might as well disappear in a poof!
Seven years after I typed that fateful phrase, I'd like to join [Zoe] Kazan and [John] Green in calling for the death of the "Patriarchal Lie" of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope.
I'm Not Your Manic Pixie Dream Girl . Balzer + Bray/HarperCollins , 2016.
To win him back, she becomes Trixie, a manic pixie dream girl , who happens to be a lot like the new girl but with slightly different quirks.
