I'm kind of an absent friend like i will love you with my whole heart and go out of my way to give you any help you need but I tend to live in my own world and suck at keeping up communication and I'm really sorry to anyone who takes that personally.
Relationships are much sweeter when you and your partner are actual FRIENDS. You turn up together, gossip together, talk honestly, have fun, and generally vibe like besties. They shouldn’t replace your original friends but it’s great when your dynamic is more than just romantic.
