    BEST DESESION I EVER MADE
    The vanpire diaries may be a long show but trust me, watch it! It will take 2 episodes for it to make sence I guess and it has multiple spin offs! The actors and actresses are VERY talented and in body each character. This is a super natural romance with twists!!!! I HIGHLY recommend.
