Dear Sarah J Maas,

Thank you for giving us characters:

• Who  have periods
  
• Who have flashbacks
  
• Who have nightmares
• Who have intimacy issues
  
• Who have physical disabilities
  
• Who try to be happy despite trauma but don’t always succeed and that’s okay
  
• Who have periods
  
• Who have non-stigmatized, non-abusive sexual encounters with loving partners
  
• Who have healthy sexual encounters even after sexual trauma
• Who have to come to terms with the blurred lines of abuse over time rather than “just knowing”
  
• Who fall out of love
  
• Who have multiple relationships in their lifetimes
  
• Who take time to get over a serious relationship before being able to jump into a new one
  
• Who have to train and work in order to be fit and in shape
  
• Who have a complicated relationship with their families
  
• Who make mistakes, even mistakes that negatively affect the lives of innocent people, but who still try to be good
  
• Who are badass women
  
• and who are badass men.
  

Just this. This is why.

This is life.
