In this time of uncertainty and boredom, I’ve decided to rewatch Girl Meets World and convince my roommate that Lucaya is the superior ship. Here’s my conclusion so far: we deserved a better ending and I’m still mad at Disney for canceling it too soon. I also really wish they would have given Lucaya a better chance. There was so much chemistry and so much potential, and they just threw it away on this “Maya became Riley” crap. As I rewatch I notice the stolen glances and little moments between Lucas and Maya. And I can’t help but relate. I really liked a boy, but one of my best friends liked him too, so I back off. I stepped back. I sacrificed my feelings for hers. And that’s just what Maya did. She sacrificed her feelings because her relationship with Riley was more important. Riley didn’t see how much Maya was hurting, so maya did what she thought would stop from hurting. She did what she though would get Lucas to pay attention to her too. She started to relate to Riley. She started to do what she though Lucas liked. What she didn’t realize was that Lucas liked her for her. He liked how she picked on him and played with him. Riley didn’t do those things. I look at my roommate. I see how she is and I wonder if maybe I was like her, maybe he would notice me or maybe he’d talk to me as much as he does with her. But I realize that that’s not me. And maya realized that that wasn’t hurt either. It just took some time. It took a mental breakdown to realize who she was. And when she did, she realized that she didn’t have to be Riley for Lucas to like her. But she cared about Riley too much to risk it. So she let him go. And it wasn’t easy. But she loved Riley more than Lucas. Maya deserved better. Lucas deserved better. Even Riley deserved better. Farkle, Smackle and Zay deserved better, because they had to listen and watch their friends be stupid and annoying an confused. Feelings are hard to navigate and these kids just did what they thought was best. Girl Meets World Deserved better.

As a cashier, I don’t get impatient when people are putting their money away. They can go ahead and take their time.
As a customer, this is the most stressful experience. Ever!
when the cashier gives u back ur change and ur putting it away but u cant do it fast enough and suddenly theyre holding out ur shopping bag and u have no hands and the coins are dropping to the ground and the bag goes up in flames and the cashier is crying and ur crying and ur wallet is screaming and ur descending into hell
“you haven’t lost your voice. you’re screaming, ms. hart.”
UNPOPULAR OPINION: maya didn’t become riley, maya was finally being herself. letting herself have feelings about a guy that her best friend wanted too. dressing and wearing her hair the way she wanted to. she didn’t lost her voice, she was screaming. she was screaming because she didn’t know how to handle it. before, she was a mess, always doing what was expected of her. the problem wasn’t that she wasn’t maya anymore, is was that she didn’t know who maya was. the real maya isn’t just the one who mess with people and makes fun of lucas, like she thought. the real maya is a broken smart beautiful girl who would do anything for her friends, which happened to be in love with the same boy that her best friend. so she believed that she was becoming riley because she didn’t think that she was that person. she believed she lost herself because she wouldn’t do anything to hurt riley in any way. she must have become riley to do such thing like take interest on someone she liked. she convinced herself that she was protecting her. but maya wasn’t acting like riley, for example, in girl meets texas (where the two girls have they different own ways to show they love for him: riley supports lucas and maya is scared that he is going to get hurt because they care about him).
JUST LOOK AT HER. IF YOU THINK SHE WASN’T IN LOVE WITH LUCAS FRIAR, YOU WERE WATCHING A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SHOW.
maya was always maya. until they convinced her she wasn’t.
Which is why parents tell you not to do things that they did when they were your age. They learned for the stupid things they did and grew.
Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
