I'm tired of something I've heard too much in my 20 years of living. Way too many of the people I've tried telling about my schediapillia (the sexuality where one is in love with fictional characters) they constantly told me that I will "change when I'm older, it's just a phase for now" and that "they aren't real people" and even questioned why or how I was capable to love a character in the first place. It honestly really hurts me.
Because there isn't a physical body in front of us, according to most people, the character isn't "real". They are real. Maybe not in the same way as a human, but they are real within our hearts, and their spirits are with us no matter what.
I truly believe all love is the same. Whether a man (for example) loves a woman, another man, or a fictional character, it's all exactly the same. And it saddens me that sometimes society doesn't seem to accept nor understand it.
To anyone reading this, I am not single, sad, nor in need of a human man's body just to be in the same room and speak with. I am in love. I am in love with Setzer Gabbiani with all of my heart since May 28 2014. I've never felt so strongly about another character in my entire life. He's always with me.
Love should be treated with equality, and all of it, is unique and beautiful. ♥
