D'you know how hard it is to be yourself when you know exactly who you are and everyone around you is waiting for you to get over it?

I loved this line because it's not just about Amy, here. It's about Rory, too, and how he's had to be a little less than himself to keep Amy--not that he doesn't think it's worth it, but that it's been legitimately difficult (something that fandom seems not to get, in general).

<3 Rory.

Yeah, I find it really interesting how they've had similar experiences in that regard, yet it plays out so differently for each of them in part because of gender roles and expectations.

Thanks for the comment!
