4. I’m not proud of it but … I used to work IT for a company and had a huge crush on a woman that worked in one of those group cubicle open office designs, so I purposely sabotaged the computers around her so that they’d call me to come up to fix things.
5. Purposely avoided talking to her. Still know her now, still kind of have feelings for her now, still rarely talk to her.
6. Post dumb IG stories just to see if she viewed.
“You are the only person who gets to decide if you are happy or not—do not put your happiness into the hands of other people. Do not make it contingent on their acceptance of you or their feelings for you. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if someone dislikes you or if someone doesn’t want to be with you. All that matters is that you are happy with the person you are becoming. All that matters is that you like yourself, that you are proud of what you are putting out into the world. You are in charge of your joy, of your worth. You get to be your own validation. Please don’t ever forget that.” — Bianca Sparacino
