True. *urgh* My friend had this break up recently, and by God, the collateral damage from the break up was more disturbing than the actual break up itself :/ She's been crying her eyes out ever since, because the males and the females in our friend group have (oh so surprisingly) taken opposing stances on the whole thing and it's messy AF now and she feels like she's losing her good friends. For some weird reason, that's making me feel scared about my dude, even though there is zero relatability in both our situations.
Plus, I watched La La Land recently, and I was just reminded about how even the most beautiful things don't last, and that reminded me of how much I really love this dude and I fucking want it to last even though I'm probably getting ahead of myself again, but I don't effing care and I really want it to work out for so many reasons and I'm so scared that it won't and I feel like crying every time I think about it.
Also, my dude and I are still in the "careful" phase of the relationship (it's only been nineteen days, plus we're both scared of this relationship for different reasons) and I really want us to grow out of being careful and just be, instead. But the one thing I find encouraging is that he says things from time to time that let me know that he's working on it, and I'm working on it too. So, I guess that's a good thing.
Because of this happening now, I've been feeling a stronger urge to do well in college so that if and when the time comes for me to tell my family about him, I can do it proudly. OMG WHAT THE EFF IS HAPPENING TO ME THERE'S SO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT AND I'M REALLY GETTING AHEAD OF MYSELF AGAIN AND I DON'T WANT TO LEST I GET DISAPPOINTED OR SOMETHING BUT GOD.
What do I do? This is so scary for me. I really like (if not love) him, and he makes me happy. But I'm so scared, it's not even funny.
Edit: Okay, that turned into an insanely long wall of text. Please don't mind it, people, and I'd totally understand if you don't want to read the whole thing
