“did you guys date?” nah, we just flirted, exchanged pics, texted all day, talked on the phone all night, got jealous over each other, and then one day we became strangers like none of it ever meant anything.
Unfortunately, you will have to teach yourself how to stop talking to someone you still want to talk to. You’ll cry, your chest will hurt like crazy, you’ll feel like you’re losing your mind. But you will survive it 😭
The older I get, the more I understand that being able to relax around someone is one of the deepest forms of intimacy. When your nervous system finally stops bracing for impact, you realize you’re not just comfortable. You’re safe.
