I finally said it

To give you a short brief. For about a year, there has been this girl that I have had a huge crush on. Problem is she was for 8 months together with a great friend of mine so I was stuck there and then when they broke up we lost touch a little. Anyways, yesterday I had the courage of finally letting her know about my feelings and it feels amazing. Unfortunately she said that doesn't feel the same way but I kind of knew beforehand so it doesn't bum me out that much, and I do believe that we will remain friends,she even said so herself so it doesn't matter, as long as we still talk to each other i'm happy. I did it, after a year of being afraid I finally opened up to her and it feels so amazing TL;DR I OPENED UP TO THE GIRL I HAVE HAD HUGE CRUSH ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR
