i think maybe one part of breakups people underestimate is how people in love develop their own sort of language and a rich shared world of characters and motifs. & then when the relationship ends there’s a special loneliness in realizing you’ll never speak that language again
So you’re telling me that a 12 year old is too young to buy a PG-13 movie ticket, a lottery ticket or cold medicine, too young to drive a car or to vote, but not too young to be forced to carry a baby to term or to marry?
How fucked up is that?
