Did you want me to leave? Did you want me to stay?

Hello self-doubt

Don’t forget the times you were sad, and the times you were really angry, and all the times you were so happy you were almost scared.

You start to lose those butterflies in your stomach and in their place is that gut feeling when you know something is just as it should be.

I feel like I want to hug this poor lady for what we both just went through but she looks like she wants nothing to do with me ever again and I can’t blame her.

The first time we attempted to have sex, it didn’t go well.

Your internet history is full of links to “free activities to do around the city”.

She still hasn’t heard from you. She remembers that sometimes you have important work projects due early in the week so you might be busy with that.

My best friend’s dad.

You’re not crazy for thinking you’re pregnant every month or for dying to have sex but then yelling at your boyfriend if he tries.

As rough as it may have been to go through it, I am so incredibly grateful for my awkward stage because at a very young and impressionable time in my life, I had to really like myself. Even if no one else did.

You realize a lot of the stereotypes are actually true.

It may seem that with her ever changing moves and lifestyles, she would want someone to cater to her. But that’s not the case. She wants a partner, not a servant.

People pleasing is completely selfish. It’s me having this horrible anxiety that someone has some sort of expectation of me and that I may let them down in some form. It’s my incessant need to be accepted and approved and liked.
