First Move

-

Remember my last post about my crush?

Well, here's the update. After exactly a month, I finally mustered up the courage to chat with him. I didn't come right out and confess, but I kinda hinted at it. I told him that if he had someone else on his mind, it would help me move on. He seemed a bit taken aback at first, understandably so. I mean, it's not every day someone indirectly confesses to you out of the blue. But then, I tried to play it off as a joke, especially since it was April Fool's Day. I was so embarrassed, and I jokingly said something like, "So, this is how people respond to something like this, huh?" He didn't really know how to react and just said he didn't mind at all. He also mentioned that we should be friends first. Classic friendzone, right? Yeah, I got rejected for the first time ever. I didn't know whether to feel sad or relieved. But weirdly enough, I felt a sense of relief. Finally being able to express those feelings was a weight off my shoulders. Maybe things will get better in the future. Don't worry, though, my heart's still strong.

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?
