I like the feeling of being chosen. The attention, the effort, the way someone leans in without hesitation. The way they show interest, show consistency, show that I’m on their mind without me having to question it. It feels good to be wanted like that. Even when I don’t want [...]
They didn’t call you intimidating because you were too much. They called you intimidating because you were sure of yourself in a way they weren’t ready for. You didn’t shrink, you didn’t second guess your presence, and you didn’t move like someone waiting for permission. And that made them uncomfortable. [...]
You try not to, but I cross your mind anyway. Not in a loud, obvious way, but in those quiet moments when everything slows down and there’s nothing left to distract you. That’s when it happens, when something small reminds you, when your thoughts drift a little too far in [...]
Peace can feel unfamiliar in a way that almost makes you question it. There’s no overthinking, no wondering what they meant, no trying to read between the lines. Nothing feels urgent, nothing feels uncertain, and instead of feeling relieved, you start wondering if something is missing. It feels too quiet, [...]
Dear Tessa, I think what’s bothering me the most now isn’t even what happened, it’s what I didn’t say. There were so many moments where something didn’t feel right, where I had questions, where I needed clarity, and I just stayed quiet. I didn’t want to come off as too [...]

Dear Tessa, I do like her, a lot actually. I enjoy being with her, talking to her, everything feels easy when we’re together. But when it comes to committing, I just don’t feel ready. It’s not that she’s done anything wrong, it’s just me. I don’t want the pressure, the [...]
We never made it official. There was no label, no conversation, no moment where we defined what we were. If someone asked, I would not have had a clear answer. But it still felt real. Not in a dramatic, over the top way, but in the quiet, everyday kind of [...]
I really thought I meant it. That this was it, the final conversation, the last time I’d go back, the moment where everything would finally close the way I told myself it needed to. “One last time.” It sounded good. It felt convincing. And for a second… I believed it. [...]
