I don’t want to have to say it. I don’t want to explain what I need, don’t want to ask for effort, don’t want to point out the obvious and hope it’s received the way I mean it. I want it to be natural. I want them to just… choose [...]
I didn’t change overnight. It just looks that way from the outside. Because you didn’t see the part where I gave too much, where I stayed too long, where I kept trying to make things work even when they were already showing me they wouldn’t. You didn’t see the moments [...]
You wouldn’t be thinking about anything else. Not your phone, not your notifications, not the people you usually keep in rotation. None of that would matter in that moment. Because your focus would shift. Slowly at first, then all at once. The kind of shift where everything else fades into [...]
It doesn’t make sense. They’re inconsistent, unreliable, barely showing up, giving you the absolute minimum, and somehow… you can’t let it go. You think about them more than you should, feel pulled toward them even when you know better, and keep hoping for something that never fully comes. And it [...]
I knew. I saw it in the way you hesitated, in the way you showed up halfway, in the way things never fully settled into something solid. You weren’t consistent, you weren’t clear, and you definitely weren’t ready for something real. And I stayed anyway. Not because I didn’t recognize [...]
I knew it wasn’t right. I felt it early on, in the small moments that didn’t quite sit right, in the inconsistencies I tried not to look at too closely, in the way something always felt slightly off even when I tried to convince myself it wasn’t. But I stayed [...]
I’m most interested when I have to figure them out. When they’re not fully available, when the energy isn’t completely clear, when there’s just enough distance to keep me leaning in. That’s when I’m paying attention, when I’m invested, when I’m thinking about it more than I should. Because it [...]
You were never meant to be an option. Not the backup plan, not the maybe, not the person someone circles back to when it’s convenient. You were never meant to sit in uncertainty waiting to be chosen. That was never your role. But somewhere along the way, you allowed yourself [...]
I knew what I should have said. I knew where I should have drawn the line, where I should have spoken up, where I should have made it clear what I was and wasn’t okay with. It wasn’t a lack of awareness. It was a lack of action. Because I [...]
You told yourself not to get attached. You said it early, like a rule you were going to follow this time. Keep it light, keep it simple, don’t read too much into it, don’t let it become anything more than what it is. But somewhere along the way, that changed. [...]
