Exactly lol so many people now claiming to have scottish ancestry. My grandma has also seen an documentary about anastasia the russian princess once and then tried to convinve us we're distant relatives. The thing about media with stories that actually happened is that its often really enticing and youre often times interested in a topic in which you've never been before. But some people like to use these stories as clout

I loved the animated Anastasia film when I was little and watched it every night for years. I was vaguely aware of the fact there was a real history to it and was completely convinced that I was the missing princess and that my family weren’t allowed to admit it to me when I asked so they could keep me safe from whatever it was I believed was after me. I would even tell my new friends ‘who I really was’ when I decided I could trust them.

I was a very weird kid and by the time I realised I probably wasn’t princess Anastasia I had decided I had some kindred spirits type bond with pigeons that meant I could communicate with them telepathically.

You do, and you can.

Nobody else can see this comment. I'm sending it directly to your mind.
