I fell in love with your potential.

you weren’t good for me. and that’s the hardest part to admit.

you were the most normal man I ever dated, which somehow made it worse— because I really thought this one would work.

I’m tired of forcing things that were never meant to bloom. maybe we were always supposed to stay strangers, two people who passed too close and mistook it for fate.

and yet— no matter how much time goes by, the sparks still show up uninvited. the butterflies never learned how to leave 🦋

I really thought you could be the one. delusional, right? 😄 I just loved your energy too much. your calm. your ambition. the way you wore structure like armor.

maybe I didn’t love you— maybe I loved the idea of you. and that’s not fair, you never asked to be placed on a pedestal I built myself.

maybe I was too much for you. too intense. too soft. too childish in the ways that matter.

it always felt like you only saw the surface of me— never the core, never the depth I was offering with shaking hands.

you don’t choose who you connect with. you don’t choose chemistry. I didn’t want to like you. but I did. and it hurt because it was too strong to survive on one side alone.

you never really liked me. you liked the power that came from being liked. you said otherwise, but your actions never matched the words.

and I deserve better than misalignment.

maybe you cared in your own way. you showed up sometimes. you listened well. but you never fully let me in. there was always a distance— emotional unavailability disguised as calm.

you were afraid to open the door, even though I would have never hurt you.

I kept these thoughts quiet, too personal to say out loud. but I saw your potential. I believed in who you could become— and if you ever chose growth, you’d be unstoppable.

you just weren’t ready. not for that. and not for me.

I hated how I lost control around you. how weak I felt. how I kept breaking my own rules— and I would’ve kept doing it if I hadn’t walked away.

maybe you could never love me because you don’t love yourself 🥺

I searched for something stronger than us. dated others. tried to forget you. even tried to make you jealous. nothing worked.

but I learned this— chasing is never the answer.

no one ever compared to you. you had everything I thought I wanted. all I ever wanted was you.

and yet you always made me feel like I’d never be enough.

my self-respect is louder now than the feelings I still carry.

I wanted you. but now—

I choose me.

Not all relationships are romantic. When we start to read into behaviors too much and interpret them as romantic gestures, it can really obscure our view, and crash what could have been a really good friendship. I hope one person is discerning, creates a boundary or just communicates to clarify things. If this doesn't happen one person is eventually going to be used by the other, and it usually doesn't end well.

Rant: Relationships

You know what, relationships are fucking hard. How are you supposed to go out and meet people? And seriously, my type seems to be straight guys. I realize there’s grindr, but in my experience that hasn’t ended well. It’s really hard telling if people identify identify has LGBT. I don’t want to judge you based off your actions. It’s just hard. I know I shouldn’t be wanting a relationship and that I should be happy by myself. But every once in awhile it’d be nice to have someone out there that cares for you more than just on a friendship level. My friends are great, don’t get me wrong. I don’t know. It’s just frustrating. This is my rant for now. Thanks for listening. <3

LDRs

It's only sometimes when I really think about it that I realise how strong I am, how strong we are as a couple and how strong other couples in LDRs are and how patient we are because it is not easy. And no one will ever understand what we go through unless they have been there. This is a shout to all the people in LDRs, you have done it, you're doing it and it can be done and give yourself a pat on the back for being awesome!
