i literally just sent the “talking about you” text to the person i was talking about. i thought i was talking to my friend about the guy i lost last year, but no, it went straight to him. now i’m stuck wondering if he’ll laugh, cringe, or completely ignore it. and honestly, that’s where i’m at in life. trapped in my own brain where every other couple is out here living their fairytale while i sit ...
ok but picture this: I was literally at the park, publicly declaring I forgave someone who once spilled coffee on my favorite sweater like it was the end of the world.
