The crime of having friends

So, I post on TikTok and since I love my friends very much, I post about them too. But for some reason humans always assume that we are dating and then get mad at me for "dating" someone younger than me. And I try to be understanding, and we tell them over and over again, we are not dating. Then they either don't believe us or say that it's still weird to be friends, like I understand if it was like a 14 yo and a 30 yo for example. I understand that that would be questionable, but man, just let teenagers have friends!

Sorry, I needed to get that out.

Lots of love - L
