hey guys oof. this is gonna be a long one and iām not going to hit backspace at aLL! unless i make a typo then iāll have to but okay (: this blog post is gonna be all about boys and my pov and struggle as of right now when iām writing this on a tuesday night at 10:56! all aboard the struggle bus!! okay so... thereās this guy... it always starts like this => i meet this guy, decides heās super cool, gets his number, talkĀ a lot, like everyday a lot, we make plans to go out, i realize iāve caught feelings, convo starts dying bc awkwardness, he begins to ghost, i freak out, have our mutual friends spy for each other, confess, never speak again. im currently going through the final phase of regret and so muchĀ āwhyā. okay when i first met him it was through a dare in my eighth grade year. i was dared to walk up to someone and say hey im your new mom come with me and go with it. lol he went with it for a long time and that when i was saidĀ ādang youre a cool kid!ā and we exchanged instagrams. we then liked each others posts, commented every once in a while. then highschool. heās in band and im in guard Ā so we had every practice together, every comp together, ect. so we actually exchanged numbers in the middle of the season and talked basically everyday. we were each otherās number 1 on snapchat for a couple days or so, until we both talking to our own best friends. i told 3 people about this and they all said they were rooting for the both of us because we were cute but i was never sure :0 i was still in the state of denial of could he like me, could he not. and it got really unhealthy where i was over analyzing every singe text, snap, like, comment i sent and received. i started getting closer to on of his friends and then we both became friends. she asked me about him and i was like ptsh no. but then my gut told me i was lying. but i didnāt know it. i was super conflicted with my emotions because i had just asked him the previous day to come to the mall with me and this other couple. comes the day of our mall trip and i bring a friend and he brings a friend and it was super awkward. my girl and i were practically third wheeling this kid and his friend. after that we didnāt talk for a whole week because i knew somehow someone mustāve told himĀ āyo paula like likes youā so i got tired of no response for a whole week. the last guy i liked totally shut me out and i felt like sh*t for the whole summer and i didnāt want that to happen, but hes not important so moving on! i texted him and said āhey i know you know but this is how i feel... xyzā and i asked him if we can hopefully stay friends, because heās genuinely a great person. he said he doesnt feel the same way. *shocker* and he said we can stay friends if i want. i donāt want him to be uncomfortable or forced in a one way friendship because itās going to end up hurting us both. so i asked him if he wanted to and he said... and i quote,Ā āi mean a littleā -2017. WHO DOES THAT TO A GIRL THAT JUST EXPOSED HERSELF AND FEELINGS?!!1??1! yea im not gonna lie i was hella disappointed and so were my friends rooting for us from the beginning, but iāve learned something through all this pain and mega regrets
