Brave or idiot?

-
I've always been the type to wait for my crush to make the first move, like any typical girl. But as I've grown older, I've realized that's not always how life works, especially if you're not conventionally pretty or approachable. Sadly, I don't fit that mold. I'm not the prettiest girl around, and my resting-bitch-face-syndrome tends to scare people off. Then, I noticed this guy around late December, just before final exams. He was tall and had a Chinese look that caught my eye. It was love at first sight, or so I thought. I decided to do some detective work and added him on Facebook after getting his name from a few friends who were in the same class. 

 In late February, I got a notification that he'd started a new Instagram account. So, I took the plunge and followed him, and he actually requested to follow me back. But one day, I decided I needed to move on and end these feelings. I stumbled upon a tweet about approaching your crush and seeing what happens, even if rejection is a possibility. So, I mustered up the courage and slid a "Hi?" into his DMs. And you know what? He replied. Just "Hai?" but those three letters were enough to drive me insane. Totally unexpected. To be continued...

The Last Phone Call

-
After he walked away that day, I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to give it one more shot. I hated myself for feeling so desperate, but I just couldn't let go. To my surprise, he agreed to try to fix things. But then, out of the blue, he backed out, saying there was nothing to fix. I called him up, hoping for some clarity, and he hit me with the bombshell: he felt unnecessary. I had a sinking feeling in my gut that maybe the other girl he'd been eyeing had responded. I mean, I saw it coming, but it still shattered my heart into a million pieces. I started rambling on about stuff that didn't even matter, acting like we were in some kind of real relationship. And then, I said the dumbest thing ever: "Hope you treat that other girl better." Like, seriously? Why was I giving him advice on how to treat someone else? I needed to let him be. Then he hit me with it: "I release you." Those words cut deep. We had something special, you know? And this ...

Pandora Box (part 2)

-
Okay, so here's part two of the Pandora's box. After diving deep into some shadow work, I finally started to understand why that moment hit me so hard. Turns out, he bears a striking resemblance to my biological father—like, 20% similar. And that's where things got all tangled up in my head. It felt like this weird father-daughter moment, you know? I know, I sound totally bonkers, but hey, that's what TikTok therapists are for, right? Though, yeah, maybe I should consider talking to a legit psychologist. But anyway, I've come to realize that expecting that kind of treatment from any guy is just not fair. I mean, I can't go asking for something I never got from my own dad. It's not a boyfriend's job to play babysitter to my inner child.

27th Chapter

-
So, today's my birthday, and guess what? This morning, I went and sprained my ankle. Yep, talk about bad timing, right? I texted him about it, and honestly, he was pretty shocked. I mean, I totally messed up our birthday plans. But you know what? He was super patient with me, like surprisingly patient. I'm not sure why he was being so sweet to me. It's kinda throwing me off. We're not officially together or anything, but he's treating me like we are. Plus, he's the first guy I've ever brought home to meet my mom. It's all just got me feeling really confused, you know?
