I think I’ll call this - “I’m not afraid.” [or - “I’m completely confident about Delena & couldn’t care less about Caroline encouraging Stefan to go after Elena again because Elena has finally accepted the truth!” aka “Elena is in love with Damon & she’s not hiding from this truth any longer, so throw Damon/Elena whatever obstacles you please, because their love is strong enough to prevail!”

O K A Y! This is probably going to be pretty long seeing as i have a tendency to provide TONS AND TONS of details, as well as ramble quite a bit. So to be considerate, i will put my thoughts under a ‘Read More’ break.

Let me start this off by stating that this is all just MY OPINION. I don’t claim to know any secrets of the show, I don’t believe that I am, or my opinions are, in anyway superior to anyone. These are just the thoughts that i have and that I am confident in! If you don’t like what i have to say, for whatever reason that may be, please just do the polite thing and exit my blog. I show respect and consideration to everyone, and i deserve the same treatment in return. If you disagree with my opinions and decide to continue reading anyways, that’s fine with me! Just keep this in mind - respect is a two way street. If you disrespect me, do not expect me to react kindly.

Alright! On with my thoughts.

It’s finally happened, Elena has FINALLY not only acknowledged her feelings for Damon, [and how strong those feelings are] she has ACCEPTED those feelings! This is big, HUGE really! For such a long time now, Elena has been so scared of her feelings for Damon, she’s been terrified to accept the truth and admit it out loud - she is in love with Damon. Now obviously we are still waiting to actually hear Elena say those 3 words to Damon, but her conversation with Stefan, everything they BOTH said, as well as didn’t say, confirmed it without a doubt.

So what happens next? Well this is a drama and obviously things aren’t going to just magically be easy for Damon & Elena. We know how Damon is, no matter how internally happy he will no doubt be, on the outside… it’s safe to assume he is going to struggle. He’s going to feel guilty, [though he has nothing to feel guilty for since he’s done nothing wrong, but i will address that later on in this post!] he will almost certainly not believe that this breakup is for good & will probably initially brush off any attempts Elena makes to move their relationship forward.

And then there’s Caroline. Let’s talk about this spoiler that says Caroline is going to encourage Stefan to go after Elena again:

I’m not concerned, not at all. Do you want to know why? Because ELENA FINALLY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS. She has acknowledged and admitted that her feelings for Damon are stronger than ever, so strong that she can NOT keep pretending she isn’t in love with him any longer. Honestly, it’s not going to matter WHAT Caroline says or does. We all know that Caroline is Team Stefan/Stelena. That’s not anything new so let’s stop pretending it is okay?

Damon and Elena are finally happening, just be happy about it, okay?

I know we haven’t got very lucky yet, but this is our time and we need to start enjoying it.
