39. She liked to “test” me.
Would go for a job interview and instead of texting me to let me know how it went, she’d clock how long it took me to ask her. She soft-blocked me on Twitter (I actually had to look up what this means – apparently blocking and then unblocking someone, which forces them to unfollow you?) and then called me out for not noticing, etc.
40. She would call me and talk nonstop about her made up drama for 30 minutes and then say bye. The only word I would ever say was hello.
About the author
“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
