i think i’ve finally left that mindset where i think liking someone is shameful. it’s okay to admit that i did like H at one point. looking back at it makes me kinda sad though. i remember one night last year i was super excited because i’d just bought needy girl overdose, which i’d been super excited to play! i was on a call with him when i first started playing. i was trying to tell him about it but he’d always find some way to bring it back to me sending him nudes. i didn’t deserve that, right? but that’s what he saw our relationship as, and i really can’t blame him. i have the right to feel hurt, but i don’t have the right to blame him. i’ve finally come to a point where i can safely say those feelings are gone now! and i am proud of myself! if it was so easy for him to leave me, then clearly he’s not the love of my life or whatever i thought back then. the time when we started the whole nudes thing was also one of the lowest points in my life. like that entire summer i’d been completely isolated and being able to feel desired by a group of people who weren’t creeps online was a pretty new feeling for me. i’ll admit i was pretty blind to any red flags, but i was just so happy, yk? and i cant hate myself for doing something that made me happy. i was just chasing the seratonin boost i got whenever we spoke. i really do think i’ve changed. i’m not the person i was then. we’re all changing and growing constantly, and i’m proud of myself for it! i wont let myself and my happiness ever become that dependent on someone again. honestly, at that time, i couldn’t see a future without him in it. i thought that my whole world had ended just because he ghosted me. but that’s not true! because i’ve done so much his year, and it’s made me realise, no person ever REALLY matters that much! i mean, i’ve lost my virginity! i’ve gone out and done stuff i never would’ve been able to do before, all because i took chances! i met others, i tried to get over my fear of other people, and even if some of those times weren’t perfect, they never went completely awfully either, right? i think i’m really maturing! and i’m so proud of myself for that. i’m so proud of you for that M! you’re gonna go to school and socialise with people and make friends! even if you don’t find anyone you really connect with, that’s okay! cuz u wont be in this country for that much longer anyways! school is just a means to an end, practice talking to others so you’ll be better at it when you leave! because really, who cares about what they think of you! i am the person i am, and if they don’t like it, then i dont like them either! you can do this! i believe in you ! love forever 💗💗💗💗
