I think I’m the problem ? Hahah

So back in 6th grade, I had this puppy love thing going on. The guy? Smart, sporty, and honestly… kinda handsome (mwehehe 🫣).

We met through texts — yes, TEXTS. I was the one who messaged first because I got his number from my friends like a low-budget FBI agent. 🤣

We kept texting and eventually I confessed that I liked him… and he liked me back! (Plot twist: I wasn’t exactly “the pretty girl” in school. I was around 60 kg at that age, so you know… chubby cheeks era unlocked.)

We became “together,” but only through text. He wanted to talk face-to-face, but GIRL… I was shy. Like hide-behind-the-moon shy. 😂

Then boom — the problem: his ex. His batchmates (who were my friends, because apparently I’m the bridge of two worlds) told me the whole love saga. They dated when they were like 10 or 11. EXCUSE ME? At that age I was still watching cartoons and eating snacks like there was no tomorrow. 💀

Anyway, we lasted for about 1 week… ok maybe 3 weeks if you count the emotional damage. 😂 Then he broke up with me. Reason? “AWKWARDNESS.” Yes. You read that right. I got dumped because he felt awkward. Mas awkward pala ako than heartbreak. 💀

I just said “okay.” Because honestly, at that time I didn’t even know what a real relationship was. I just wanted someone to text at night. 😂

Fast forward to high school — we went to different schools. Me? Public school. Him? Private university with aircon and fancy socks or whatever. 🙄

Suddenly, he kept messaging me again, saying he regretted breaking up, he liked me, he wanted me back. But hello? I’m hard to get now. Character development unlocked. 😌✨

Then a bunch of girls kept asking me if I was his ex because they liked him. I was like: “Girl, no. I’m not his ex. I’m just the tutorial version before the real game.” 💀

Meanwhile his ex and her friends were saying she might get back with him. And me? “Ok, go. No problem.” I liked him, sure — but hello, I’m bisexual. I have options. 😂🌈

Now he’s studying to be a Marine, traveling abroad. His ex is about to finish Accountancy. Honestly, they match — both smart, both competitive, both main-character energy.

Me? Well… I dropped out for my mental health. I’m on my self-care arc, okay? If God said rest, who am I to disagree? 😌 I’m just trying to avoid unnecessary stress, drama, and men who break up with me because of “awkwardness.”
