I feel bad for cringing so hard at this video, because I want to be open-minded. I love seeing older woman/younger man relationships, as they are so often given an unfair double standard of judgment. I love love in general. I love healthy, happy couples expressing themselves in ways that feel good and natural. I have even cosplayed myself, so I am far from one to judge on that front.

But… I just can’t… I just can’t deal with this video. Maybe you can. Thought Catalog Logo Mark

“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
