twenty-three, eighty eight

BTW:

It would really mean a lot to me if I am not criticized for having a crush on a teenager. I know it doesn’t make it much better but he is of the legal age of consent. You have no idea how much of a relief that was to find out he was at least that old. I was freaking out before because I didn’t know exactly how old he was and now I do. It makes me feel like a slightly less horrible person to know that he’s not THAT much younger than me…but it’s still scary because I don’t know what to do with these feelings.

AND

Don’t criticize Erica either. If you knew the whole story you might understand why she does have a crush on him and she had a crush on him for a long time before he was married…and yes she feels awful about it. She is just being a friend to him right now because he definitely needs one. The last time they spoke he was crying because his life is such a mess right now.

So yeah, unless you’re going to offer us words of encouragement please don’t criticize us. We are human.
