"THEN DON'T--You know what, let's move on this isn't a productive conversation."

"Sure buddy, whatever helps you sleep at night."

"You can't change the shape of a planet by force of will," Penn said flatly.

"You're belief about the shape of the earth doesn't effect what is actually observed."

Penn squints at the horizon, "It depends on what you mean by really far . . . the circumference of the planet will ultimately stop us even with the best eyesight."

"Oh, well that's inconvenient." He tapped a finger on his chin, "Perhaps there's one nearby . . ."

"So you both have weird hobbies," He said flatly. "Can't you just magic us to a plateau or something?"

"Not really, don't you?"

"Oh. Well I'm not one to judge, so whatever makes him happy."

"Like the navigational direction? That's an odd thing to have strong opinions about."

"Oh my," Penn said, a little shaken, "Alright then, help yourself."

"No, but I have one," Penn said, pulling one out of his pocket.

"Oooo yeah, we definitely need a sunset, and some good dramatic wind."

"So like a really cool mesa, that'll be a good background for an epic fight."

"True . . . we better not do it near water either, then."

Penn raised an eyebrow. "Why not a desert?"

I personally have come to see it as the 'give your friends candy to make them smile day' hehehe I have a pocket full of (chocolate) kisses and I'm gonna hand them out all day Hmmm, I 100% want to be in a romantic relationship at some point (I don't know if I'm emotionally mature enough yet, but I'm working to get better), and I love the thought of cuddling. It's like . . . how do I explain this. I should say that I think one of my main love languages is physical touch. I'm personally comfortable and even love being touched or hugged, and I know it's not that way for everyone. So, I think part of it is that personal preference of I just like it. I love being hugged by my parents, and I love the idea of being hugged by a future partner. For me, I like cuddling, etc. because: -It helps ground me, I tend to overthink and dissociate at times, being physically with someone helps. -It's warm, and I like the feeling of someone next to me. It just feels good, once again it's that personal preference thing. -It's like a conformation that you are loved, sometimes just being told doesn't really sink in for me. If someone wants to be near me, it's like them wordlessly telling me that they care. -I feel more protected or safe -I feel less alone As for why I'd like to be in a relationship in general (outside of physical touch), I've got a few reasons. I love the idea of having someone I can trust with everything, I don't share a lot about myself with my friends so having someone closer that I can talk to about hard things sounds really nice. Mostly, though, I just like the idea of partner that I can rely on when things can tough, and who can rely on me when things get tough. It's like taking on the world as group project (in a good way) instead of having to do everything alone. I agree, our teenage years are where we're still figuring things out and romance is a big part of that. Personally, I'm really lonely despite having some friends and family, so I find the idea of a romantic relationship really appealing. (I don't read or watch a lot of romance, but not because I don't like it--I love a good romance story--I just have a really hard time relating to contemporary fiction, which is the majority of romance.) I feel like I haven't seen a lot of people who are crazy about dating at my school, but it could just be that I don't hang out in those circles. Personally, I don't know if I'm emotionally mature enough for a serious relationship yet, and I don't think I'll try to date anyone until I'm in college. Just because I know I'm developing a little bit slower and I think I need that time to become a better person.
