a couple things iโ€™ve learnt in the past week

the last seven days have been veryโ€ฆ.eventful 

for the first time in my life i met someone, someone i was genuinely interested in and i learnt a couple things.  i also got heartbroken so i can tick that off my canon events. the entire thing made some things clear to me leading me to perish some previous ideologies after i came to discover they were absolute bs

so letโ€™s get into some of the lies we tell ourselvesโ€ฆor the ones that girl or boy tell you

  1. โ€œiโ€™m too busyโ€: it takes less than ten seconds to reply to a text. if they donโ€™t reply to your text they simply do not fuck with you or do not wish to. take me for example. i have over 900 unanswered texts, some from my friends and people who are interested in me. yeah i feel guilty for leaving them on read most times and when we do talk (when iโ€™m bored) i pull out the old โ€œiโ€™m busy asfโ€ card. which,  as you have come to understand now, is a lie. i simply was not interested in talking to them. with this person, my phone would buzz and iโ€™d literally pause artsalghul to text them back. i literally went to their dms when i woke up in the morning. so no, nobodyโ€™s too busyโ€”them just no send you. takeaway:if someone doesnโ€™t CONSISTENTLY prioritize you, you are simply not a priority

     

  2. โ€œi donโ€™t like callsโ€: cap. they just donโ€™t like calls from YOU. itโ€™s really that simple. if you canโ€™t grasp this, i hope you get played with till your heart burns in your chest ๐Ÿ™

     

  3. โ€œwe kissed so weโ€™re togetherโ€: weโ€™re not kids anymore, donโ€™t fucking do this to yourself. people literally get cracked by strangers in insomnia ; itโ€™s really not that deep. 

     

  4. โ€œitโ€™s moving fast but itโ€™s gonna be okay, we have a connectionโ€: your chest will pain you in ways you didnโ€™t know was possible. hit the brakes or run. or both, idk. chemistry really isnโ€™t compatibility 

     

  5. โ€œi donโ€™t like being vulnerableโ€: oshey omni-manโ€ฆ.or omni-woman. most people say this like itโ€™s a permanent personality trait. itโ€™s not. itโ€™s a trust issue, a timing issue, and a safety issue. you donโ€™t โ€œopen upโ€ because someone is special. you open up when your brain stops seeing danger. with the wrong people, even simple honesty feels expensive. with the right ones, it feels less like exposure and more like breathingโ€ฆ but it still takes effort. nobody just magically becomes soft overnight. they just stop feeling like theyโ€™ll be punished for it. takeaway: with the right person, the person you feel safe with, your walls will crumble faster than the cake i baked last week, even when you know the risks involved 

     

  6. โ€œi can change themโ€: do they want to be changed? ehen. do with that information what you will

my codeโ€™s done compiling so iโ€™m gonna dip now. now look, iโ€™m no relationship expert, iโ€™ve just been involved with enough people to notice specific patterns. these are takeaways from my personal experiences. not last week, all my person experiences. then again, these donโ€™t apply to everybody exactly how i explained themโ€”take my advice with a grain of salt. most times these signs are glaring; you donโ€™t need to be holmes to see them. youโ€™ll be fineโ€ฆor not. stay safe. stay busy

p.s: if anyone makes any stupid claim this is ai generated because they saw an em-dash, i will find you. some of us are actually very well versed in the use of written english ๐Ÿ˜‘

and yes i write in small letters, hug a transformer
