She's moving away to California in a few weeks and I'm feeling a lot of regret that we didn't get to know each other better. But I'm going to cherish the time left!! But yeah I'm gonna try and remember to just do it say what I want to and not wait around for it to happen "naturally" anymore

I’m in a better place in my life, I manage to make a solid connection with someone that I can really see myself progressing with (romantically), and life still manages to get in the way. Shout out to you, universe. I understand, but I’m… yeah… Idk.
We still have a solid connection of course and I will always cherish it, but this sucks lol. Maybe we’ll revisit this again in the future. It feels silly but I just really thought that this was it.

said I’d stay friends with my ex and ended up ghosting her when I moved away.
I regret it often but at times feel that it was probably better than remaining in her life and complicating things. But sometimes things are allowed to be complicated.
Definitely an experience I learned from and wish the best for her always. Do what feels right, not what other people say is right, not what you want to feel right. What actually feels right.

I’ve had sprinkles of acquaintances and light friendships with people over the years that I sometimes feel bad about losing touch with. But sometimes it’s nearly impossible to keep in touch with everyone and still have time to care for yourself and your core people. I’ve tried to stop apologizing for that and just try to let people know I appreciate them from afar. I feel like the older I get the more intentional I have to be with my time and the more healthy boundaries I need to keep. It may disappoint some, but true friends get it, and there will always be an ebb and a flow as life changes. I also feel like social media has wired us to be so hyper-connected all the time and it’s stressful to live up to the expectation of staying in constant communication with everyone you’ve met and liked. Growing up is realizing you can like and enjoy the company of many people and you may not have the time or energy to extend to everyone you want. (And actually it’s also okay not to want to!) Not everything and every connection can stay the same and I need to constantly remind myself of that. I deserve to make space and time for myself so I can love my people better.

I don't care if it's a basic pick but this book is literally so powerful. Just filled to the brim with raw humanity in all the forms it can take. Cannot recommend enough. Read it as a teenager and it changed my life
