    A "legit fan base" as my fellow "influencer" Katya Vlahos describes it, and even better, they're not made up of women who only clicked Follow to hate on me.And yes, I do know I've used more "air quotes" than what's appropriate for a single paragraph, but the thing is, that whole air quote thing also perfectly sums up my feelings about the past five years.Everything that's happened since the post is like one long air quote: I'm a nobody the whole world has mistaken for somebody, and I feel like it's only a matter of time before everyone wises up to the truth.If my life were a romance novel, I'd never be the girl who would end up with Prince Charming, and I don't think you'd even see my name pop up until Chapter Three. If my life were a romance novel, I'd just be the hero's token best friend. The kind of girl guys hang out with until they fall in love with someone else. If my life were a romance novel, someone as gorgeous as Aidan Blackwood shouldn't even know I exist...so why have I caught him checking me out like I'm his next meal?
