the irony of life

Well, it's official. I'm a hypocrite and a cougar. And no, I am not referring to the BYU mascot.

Ok, it's probably not as bad as I feel like it is. Am I even old enough to be called that term?


Sometimes you just have to laugh at the irony of it all. I feel like you shouldn't ever have strong opinions about anything. It ends up coming back to haunt you. I had, and in fact still do have, very strong opinions about age and dating, and have frequently and loudly voiced these opinions. For example, I think it's really gross that like 80% of guys my age date 17/18 year old girls. I find it completely disgusting, and these men to be wimps. Why, you ask? I don't like it because, from what I've gathered from people I know, guys do it because these girls are easier to manipulate. Catch them young before they even fully get a chance to grow up, enjoy life by themselves and learn who they are. Before they can gain valuable dating experience. Before they can gain ANY kind of life experience. Before they can even think about college. When they're flirty and want someone's attention so badly they'll date you and immediately think this is all their life was meant for. And it's so easy to convince them to get married. EWW. I've also discussed girls I know who are dating/have dated younger guys in a tone of disapproval. (Though it's nothing like how mad I get over the older guy/young girl situation) I've said it's weird, I've said it's stupid, I've said "I could never do that", "I could never date him" "He's way too immature" "I like older men". When it didn't work out between those people I laughed and said "well, duh, what did she expect...he's 18." I won't even try to deny it.

God totally has a sense of humor. Like the moment that you swear to loathe someone for all eternity, things start happening so that eventually you end up getting married to that person for all eternity. Or in my case the moment the words "I could never date him/he's too young" rolled of my tongue, God chuckled to himself and said "we'll see about that".


Confession: I'm dating someone who's 19...in a month and a half.
Shut it.
