My best friend and I have liked each other for over a year, and now we're finally dating. It seems everyone around us was aware of our feelings except us. I know he loves me. And he knows I love him. But I feel like something terrible is going to happen, he's going to get annoyed with me or he'll find someone better, he’ll lose feelings. I shouldn't feel like this, but I don't know how to feel. I've been wanting something for so long and I've finally got it but what do I do with it?
Anyone that puts their fear above their love will make reality just that. More fearsome than kind. More cruel than patient. If you refuse to take on the role they think the world is, then they'll take it on themselves.
I am never trusting in love again, because for the past four years three women have been in my life and I couldn't get them to stay? There must be something wrong with me somehow because how do I always end up picking them. One took my first kiss, and mind you it wasn't accidental she deliberately leaned in and closed the gap while I was sitting there. The worst part is she ghosted me after I confessed, because I thought she liked me too? I kind of hoped, cuz you dont just kiss someone like that, and stay close friends with them after. The second one was actively on a talking stage with someone while being in a relationship with me, imo they're an asshole. The third one was still caught up with their ex, and just used me to get over them. The third one was everything I could've hoped for, the only downside is she still hasn't moved on but I was willing to wait, until she finally did. She did move on, then proceeded to ghost me. Why do my relationships always end up like this 😭

It’s getting bad again. Scattered fragmented thoughts floating through my mind like flies whirring around rancid rotten meat. Just as erratic, just as unsettling. Rotating through each app, a pit in my stomach. Searching his name, his likes, his follows… she has pretty blue eyes and hair just how he likes.. she has pretty tattoos… he would like her. My stomach sinks further. Copy.. paste.
More apps, more search bars. Scroll, scroll, tap.
“Liked by…” hands go cold. My gut saying this is just the tip of the iceberg but my rational mind thinks this is just crazy. It's just crazy right?
“Why am I like this?? Why are MEN like this??” echoes in my head, behind the sound of my ears ringing and the rumbling of tears welling up in my head. I want to tear my hairs out by the roots.
“Would being alone be easier?”
”Story books did nothing but set us up for disappointment”
“Would I be happier?”
I start to spiral.
“Men don’t love they only lust”
Shhhh. My mind shushes itself like a sad mother comforting a worried child whose fears are all too valid. I so desperately want to protect her, the little girl who still lives in me.
Trying to refrain from becoming jaded in today’s world is starting to leave me a dissociative shell.
