I needed to get this out.
Im just stating that just because the law says your smart enough to make good decisions at 18, doesn't mean you actually are ahah. The government is notoriously known for being idiots. Much like 18 year old girls thinking a 36 year old loves her for her personality and accomplishments at such a young age 😂
u can say that about a person of any age. i got with my boyfriend at the age of 13 and we are still together 8 years later & very much in love. meanwhile, i know of plenty of women in their 30s and 40s who have been with many different men, had divorces, been cheated on etc… love and relationships doesn’t have an inherent age of maturity. anyway, i live in uk and girls here are allowed to get married & are considered women at the age of 16 so it will always be a touchy issue that has no one true enforceable & obvious answer to the question ‘when is a girl a woman & when should we treat her as one?’ bc we are all different in our levels of maturity, no matter our age. anyway, i don’t know why you would think an 18 year old is any less mature in terms of relationships than a middle aged woman but whatever - like i said, we all have our own different opinions on this matter so it is best to leave it alone in terms of theory. x
"How about not telling 18 year old girls who to date" is such a funny statement when you pair it with the word "grown and adult". You don't call a 30 or 40 female a "girl" you call her a woman... Because shes grown and an adult. You call an 8 year old a girl, you call a 12 year old a girl, and also apparently 18. If you're chasing men more than twice your age, and they chase back... That guy is messed up. Adults go for adults, boys and girls go for boys and girls. Just saying'
someone who’s 18 is an adult, by law and in name so u can call an 18 year old a woman and be correct but u can also say girl. ‘girl’ in my eyes can mean young girl and also young woman - i’m 21 and i prefer to refer to myself as girl rather than woman bc i associate the word ‘woman’ with middle aged women, even though i am technically a ‘woman’. soooo yeah semantics in this case make no difference whatsoever. you can think whatever you want is messed up, but that doesn’t mean other people have to share your opinion. some people think eating meat is messed up; others don’t. we don’t all see eye to eye so just accept it xxx
The Cap'n won't be upset with what you're doing?
“ What are you talking about, grey squid ..? “
“ Specify the “what you’re doing” ; because it can mean a lot of things. “
“ Is it the fact that I’m actually doing something right for once ? Helping the Octarian people is more helpful than splatting them without asking their opinion about the whole thing. So yeah, I kinda don’t care about him being upset right now. Because if he is actually, I hope it’s because of his actions and the fact he was blind the whole time or the fact he didn’t want to change anything about their situation. “
“ Or maybe you’re actually talking about the fact that I fell in love with a special someone he actually might love too ..? “
After a moment, she lets out an heavy sigh.
“ I guess this is how things go. You don’t control this. Some people, the person concerned for example, may think this is just a crush, a weird temporary thing that will pass. “
“ However. I may be blind but my feelings are stronger than a simple childish crush. A “passing fancy” so to speak. “ she added, making a small annoyed grimace. “ I don’t love him because of his … “physique” but for who he is in reality. Maybe I’m mistaken about him. Maybe I am blind. Nonetheless I can’t deny my feelings. “
“ And, about the Captain, I’ll be … blunt about it : if he truly loves him, nothing of this would have happened actually. He could have done something. Instead of trying to find new random pawns like me so they could do the dirty job in his place. “
“ That’s just my opinion. Maybe I’m just completely mistaken about the whole thing. “ She shrugs her shoulders slowly.
[Texts - from: Dad]
“ Btw we’ll be happy to see your boyfriend ! 👀 “
- “ What boyfriend dad. “
“ ... Girlfriend ? ☺“
- “ I’m single rn dad. “
“ Sad :( Aren’t you interested in having a partner ? :OOO We already talked about it sweety ; you deserve to be loved and happy. And if you have the opportunity to make your dreams come true, just, do it, you know ...? “
- “ ... I would like to have a partner dad, don’t get me wrong. It’s just... complicated. “
“ Do you have a special someone in mind ? 😃 “
- “ I do... “
“ Hey, I’m sure you can talk to them. If your feelings are sincere, I’m sure it can work ! Age, sex, gender, it doesn’t matter : only feelings are. ☺ ☺ ☺ “
- “ I wish I was as optimistic as you are. “
“ ... My mom is cool, in her way. “
“ Like, she was and still is really severe but thanks to her education, I learned a lot of things ... concerning hand-to-hand battles and the use of weapons... “
“ She’s demanding, but still cool though, don’t get me wrong eh eh ... eh ... “
so why don't you currently have a partner?
“ ... UUUUGH ... “
* She let a growl, spitting a mix of bile and ink. *
“ Isn’t that obvious ? Because I can’t have a partner ! Well, more specifically ... Because the person I love actually loves someone else. Of course I should see somewhere else, as the situation doesn’t seem to evolve. But I simply can’t. “
“ I would love to have a partner so I could finally let out all the frustration I’ve been accumulating since a moment. “
“ But that’s okay. I try not to think about it. “
* She winced again. *
“ I wish he could understand that I’m not one of those damned fangirls who run after his hectos. I don’t care about that. “
* Bringing that subject on the table seemed to affect her more than usual. *
