s i’m genuinely so heartbroken over chris rn maybe it’s a little silly and i understand if u don’t want to discuss personal stuff lol. ofc i’m happy for him and all but still it feels like our little bubble got shattered idk. i’m surviving by quoting taylor swift “you weren’t mine to lose”
For other people, feel free to block Alba's tag or, for my blog specifically, "real life real people" if seeing this stuff bothers you. I don't plan to discuss more of Chris' real personal life, nor do I plan to change the content of my blog, but I did want to address this ask.
Hey, sweetheart
First, I can certainly say that you're not alone--I actually happened upon a random article when I opened Google on my phone with the headline, "Actor Chris Evans Married, Millions of Women Heartbroken," which made me chuckle.
I've been purposefully avoiding large swaths of the fandom myself right now, there are people saying Horrible shit and/or having overblown reactions, but I know other people feel like you do. Sad or heartbroken as well as happy. Bittersweet, perhaps?
Even if you realistically know there's no way you would've ever actually ended up with Chris, there's part of your brain that's attached to him, regardless. The parasocial relationship in your brain. And that's okay. It's very human. We're not built for the vastness that is modern society. World-class celebrities. Much less celebrities with a seemingly personal relationship to you through this crazy fucking shit that is social media. Our brains can't cleanly separate who is a part of your life, in your immediate reality like friends and family and community, and who is indirectly a part of your life, in your phone or TV.
You're entitled to your feelings.
And change is scary and upsetting, even if your immediate reality doesn't exactly change.
I hope you can focus on the happiness for him. That's difficult and easier said than done, of course, but it'll probably be what pulls you through <3
(Or, y'know, if you need, you can always step back from fandom and whatnot for as long as you need to pull yourself out of it more. Whatever you need to do! Also, remember that if you continue to feel sad and heartbroken, you should consider talking to someone about it. A friend, a therapist, etc.)

I went out for easter lunch with my granddad and halfway through, two elder trans women- gray hair and canes and all-walked in, and I have spent probably the last hour crying on and off because they reminded me that we get to get old.
we get to live long, beautiful lives. we get to meet up with our life long friends for lunch at some little diner and talk about good times and how our families are doing. we get to sip on iced tea, and smile, and live
I ended up paying their bill, and I really wish I'd have gone up to talk to them. unfortunately I'm fairly shy with strangers, but I regret not saying hello.
but I hope they know, that everywhere they go, they glow like a neon sign lighting up a foggy path with the message that we get to live
