Spent 3 weeks building a texting app slower than email. Messages fly at pigeon speed — LA to NYC takes 22 hrs. Sometimes the bird dies & the message isn’t delivered.
My best friend texted me this and took his own life. I missed him by 4 hours
Check on people you care about, I thought he would never do something like this
I think one of the biggest green flags in both friendships and romantic relationships is being with people who don't make every
disagreement feel like a threat to the connection. I've never understood why some people immediately jump to "maybe we should stop talking," "maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore," or "maybe this relationship isn't working" whenever conflict arises. It creates an environment where people become afraid to be honest because every difficult conversation feels like it could be the last.
Situationships are one of the worst things modern dating normalized. They are just a way for people to enjoy the attention, closeness, and benefits of relationship without giving any real commitment. It is selfish, confusing, and unfair. One person is usually hoping it turns into something real while the other is just enjoying the convenience. It wastes time, creates false hope, and leaves people hurt for no reason.
