Mind sharing any happy memories? Could be about Ashley, Julia, or yourself, whatever works.
Hi, anon! Sorry for the late reply. I was pretty sick and didn't wanna give you a rushed reply. I can definitely share some happier memories.
About Ashley: This memory came to me instantly when I read the question yesterday since I was sick at the time too eixjsid. Ashley and I both got sick at the same time and as you can imagine our parents didn't really care beyond taking us to the doctor when we both threw up. Mom pretty much just handed us the medicine and that was that. We were both still kids. I don't remember the exact age but I think I was around 10 maybe? Not older than 12 though. Ashley somehow ended up recovering way faster than I did and she tried to make me feel better by making soup for me. To no one's surprise the soup was horrible. I genuinely don't know how she managed to mess up such a simple recipe. Even the tea she made tasted off. She insisted it was just because I was still sick and if I wasn't I'd be crying tears of joy because it was that delicious. It made me laugh and it was nice to finally not be the one who had to take care of everyone else. Plus seeing her be so proud for what she had accomplished that day was cute. I might have complained at the time but I think she knew that I appreciated it. Even if I had to help her clean the dishes afterwards.
As for Julia: There were times where I genuinely forgot about Ashley (even if it was just for a few seconds) when we hung out. Especially when we first started dating it was nice to have some time away from Ashley. Julia was really sweet. She didn't really get upset, she didn't nag about things until I caved and did them for her (excluding the whole thing with telling Ashley about the relationship or trying to separate myself from her more) and over all she was a pretty great girlfriend. There was this one time we played a new game together at her place and it was fun. We laughed and had a great time over all. I'd give her a kiss on the cheek whenever we beat a stage together. For a few hours it felt like I had a normal life and things would turn out just fine but eventually Ashley called and ruined the moment. I felt bad for leaving Julia alone again for once. She definitely deserved a better treatment from me so if any Julias are reading this: I hope you're doing fine now. I was not a good boyfriend. You didn't deserve that treatment.
About myself: I guess I was pretty proud of myself when I managed to get into college and do fairly well. Since no one really helped me get there unlike some students who got everything they needed to suceed handed to them it felt like a major accomplishment. Not that it was of any use in the end but the fact that I got that far in the first place meant I wasn't as useless and stupid as some people liked to claim.
This ended up being a bit longer than I had anticipated but I hope you liked it regardless. Thanks for the question anon and have a great rest of your day.
