Welp, good job I didn’t catch feelings.

So, I have a friend who I think I low key started developing romantic feelings for. Whether they were legit or just cause he seemed like the first pleasant guy to walk into my life for years idk.

We would chat late some nights and he’s helped me get through this rough patch that I’m still currently going through, since he’d been there before and now his life has done a complete 180 and he’s living it to the fullest.

I kept him at the back of my mind because I thought logically about how things wouldn’t work between us;

  1. There was always the possibility that he didn’t have romantic feelings for me, that he’s just being nice (always that 50/50 chance, right?) & 2. With him starting a new life somewhere else, it just wouldn’t work.

Well now I’m glad I didn’t end up falling for him entirely because he’s met a girl in this new place now and I would’ve been absolutely heartbroken. Nothing serious yet, they’ve been on a couple of dates, but he’s interested in getting to know her more, and y’know what? I’m really happy for him!

I hold no spite or jealously towards this girl, I’m just glad he was able to get out of that dark place in his life and it gives me hope and inspiration to do the same with mine!

It’s gonna take a little while, and I’m not currently dating anyone because of the current state I’m in. I wouldn’t want to be a burden to somebody cause I’ve got a lot of me work to do still, and at least we can continue to be friends. After all, he is an awesome one.
