Because waiting for the plot twist was boring—so I became the plot twist. ( I know it sounds dramatic but that's what u need too.)

💭 Let me set the scene...
Camera zooms in.
Rain’s falling. (or maybe cherry blossom 🌸)
I’m staring out the window with my iced coffee in one hand and existential questions in the other.
Soft music plays in the background. Something lo-fi. Something Lana. Something that sounds like heartbreak and healing at once.
Welcome to my life.
Or, should I say—
🎥 My movie.
Now I want you to create your own movie with some thrilling title like:
No One Saw Her Coming.
She Choose Herself.
Main Character in Progress.
🎀 What even is Main Character Syndrome?
In Gen Z language?
It’s romanticizing your life like it’s a coming-of-age story—even if all you did today was take a walk, cry a little, and clean your room.
It’s:
Finding meaning in the mundane
Dressing like you’ve got somewhere important to be (why are we not dressing for ourselves, like why??)
Living like every scene matters
Creating magic out of the meh
Spoiler: It’s not delusion.
It’s divine energy. ✨
Well according to me one of the greatest things someone ever said is delulu is the only solulu.

🌸 Why I Chose to Be the Main Character
Because I got tired of feeling like a sidekick in my own story.
Always supporting. Always waiting.
Waiting for a better body, a better day, a better love story, a better “me.”
Until one day I whispered to myself:
> “You don’t have to wait for the next chapter. You are the plot twist.”
Like stop blaming the fate and start taking matters in your own hands.

🎧 Signs You’ve Got Main Character Energy (MCE):
You walk slower when a good song comes on
You journal like it’s a memoir
You cry in the shower like it’s a scene in an indie film
You stare at the moon like it’s listening
You make Pinterest boards for eras of your life
You romanticize grocery shopping
You say “this is so cinematic” at least once a week
Congrats. You’re living. Not just existing.
If you do none of these it's OK make your own memo.

💖 But Here’s the Plot Twist:
Main Character Syndrome isn’t just about ✨aesthetics✨.
It’s not about being perfect.
It’s about being present.
It’s crying in your room and still lighting that candle.
It’s feeling alone but choosing to love yourself anyway.
It’s showing up to your life even when it’s messy.
The main character doesn't have it all figured out.
She just keeps showing up.
Hey dude,
It's ok to cry, to be at your lowest, but what matters the most is — you’re realising your self worth, not letting anyone make you feel small.

🕯️ How I Romanticize My Life (So You Can Too):
Here’s how I turn the ordinary into movie magic:
---
📸 1. I document everything.
Not for the ‘gram.
For me.
Photos, notes app entries, voice notes when I’m spiraling—
Every little detail becomes part of the story.
Because years from now, I want to look back and say,
> “She really lived through that. And she made it beautiful.”
I write everything —doesn't matter it's good or bad, just let everything out.
---
💌 2. I write letters to myself.
“Dear Me,
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.”
Your main character arc isn’t in the glow-up pics.
It’s in the unposted breakdowns where you chose to keep going.
( Might sound weird writing letters to yourself but try writing not in a formal way but write like you're writing for your crush or be very unserious.)
---
🎶 3. I soundtrack my life.
Lo-fi for study scenes.
Taylor Swift for heartbreak scenes.
Beyoncé when I walk like the hallway’s my runway.
Silence when I need to feel the rawness of the moment.
Music makes everything feel more real. More me.
Ok now do let me know your favorite artist and song.
My favorite artist is ARIANA GRANDE,
and song is 7 RINGS.
---
🛏️ 4. I treat rest like a sacred ritual.
My bed? A healing temple.
My skincare? A montage moment.
My night light? Mood lighting for my soul.
No grind culture.
Only grace.
Ok so I have already posted a blog on [soft girl glow-up routine] of you haven't checked it out then what are you waiting for click on the given link and also share it with your friends and family.
---
🥗 5. I nourish like I’m the star.
Fruit in glass bowls.
Coffee in the aesthetic mug.
Pumpkin seeds + almonds like I’m prepping for a glow-up scene.
Because the lead character always glows.
Inside-out.
Ok so everyone loves rainbow including me, so why don't we eat rainbow as well.
I have shared the rainbow food bowl recipie on facebook so, don't forget to follow me there to stay updated

🔥 Real Talk: Main Character Syndrome Is a Form of Healing
It’s how I stopped waiting to be chosen.
Stopped apologizing for taking up space.
Stopped shrinking.
Instead, I decided:
I can cry and conquer.
I can feel lost and be powerful.
I can be soft and unstoppable.
Because the main character?
She’s complex.
She’s messy.
She’s magic.

Don’t worry.

She shines.
You shine.
