Boyscout, where's your pack?

imagine meeting a handsome young man who’s seen as a player and sleeps around a lot and you notice a scar along his arm and ask where he got it. he just look down at his feet and said “i used to be a soldier in world war one”. He’s been sleeping around and hooking up so much cause he’s been trying to find his soulmate for years but hasn’t yet.

Imagine going on your first date with someone and you really hit it off and then the next day you notice a grey hair and call them on the phone excitedly screaming and they both just sit on the phone hysterically crying and laughing.

Imagine sitting in silence with your partner and having them say out of the blue “i feel so old when im around you… but… in a good way” and thats the moment you know that they love you.

imagine having a dog thats 18 in human years and it starts to get gray patches of fur because they loves you so much.

imagine noticing you look older and freaking out but then stopping and getting super confused because “im not dating anyone right now…. which of my friends is my soulmate… WHICH ONE IS IT!?!?!?” and then they hopelessly date everyone they know in order to find out which one it fucking was. it was the pizza delivery guy the whole time. they went on 27 dates that all ended in confusion and heartbreak and it was the god damn pizza delivery guy from a month ago the whole fucking time. 

imagine someone dating their partner for 5 years and then having an affair. only after the affair do they start aging.

imagine nuns who start to age after they ceremoniously “marry god”

imagine people getting surgeries to look older cause they dont want people to think theyre alone.

imagine having parents who wont let you date anyone but they start to notice you aging and then you have to have a terrifying “surprise im gay and i have a boyfriend haha oops” conversation

imagine seeing couples with teenage kids and the couple both looks 18.

Imagine the romantic implications as well, that finding your soul mate and being with them, means you effectively agree to become mortal, and therefore agree to die just to be with them.

Imagine someone who has many friends, but struggles to find their soul mate, and gradually watches all of their friends grow old and die happy with their partners.

But As soneone in their 30s, I can tell some peeps in the comments are pretty young so I thought I’d talk about ageing.

For the record you don’t age *that* quickly, so you’re probably not gonna spot that you aren’t aging at 22 from when you were 18. I certainly couldn’t. Most people don’t really get signs of ageing in their early 20s; your first lines or grey hairs usually kick off on your 30s (unless you’re like me, all my ageing went to my hair lol) so it’d be hard to spot.

Ageing is slow and subtle; when you look back things can look pretty different (or not, sone people barely change) and you’ll notice it when looking at old photos, but its not like you’ll spot a big difference year to year. I don’t think my friends have aged much when I look at them. In my eyes they are still who they were. But I can see it in pictures of when we were younger, it’s only something you can really spot when you compare then and now. My friends keep telling me I barely age and haven’t changed, and I can only assume it’s for the same reason, since I’m not actually immortal. We don’t notice ageing in those around us easily because it’s gradual. So it wouldn’t be easy to spot. And I don’t think the Guy looks any different to when we met a year ago, but when I look at pictures from his university days I’m like ‘who is this literal child?!’ Which is the one perk from not having known him back then, because I find it hilarious.

So if people spot they aren’t aging, it’ll probably be after quite a few years together. Which of course would make it even worse. Imagine waiting for your first grey hair or wrinkle and getting to 35 with your childhood sweetheart and realising you both don’t look any older?
