tonight i showed her black sails 1.01 and she watched most of it with her head on my shoulder and i was laying my head on her head and it felt so safe and nice. and earlier in the afternoon we had this moment when she was infodumping about her current musical obsession and i was drawing random figures on her hand and her wrist with my fingers and again it felt. so safe. it's never a butterflies thing for me. it's never anxious. it's always safe. the thing is, i don't know if this means anything nonfriendly to her or if she even considers it or wonders or if it's just, simply, not that. i don't know and i'm not ready to speak out on it. i often think of how my tarots showed the two of cups and showed her the ace of cups but you know, who knows. maybe it's not even like, in the realm of possibility for her. anyway this is just random rambling but the thing is i felt so safe and i cherish these moments so much.

and i guess the reason why i'm able to like, bask in the gratefulness Besides the pining (which is very much There) is that. if we compare this situation to the whole year-long pining i had with my other friend last year. it's like, in that case it was pretty much all in my head. it was a regular friendship where we hung out some times. and then i saw all this Potential and it drove me crazy. in this case it's like, she gives me a lot as it is. she may not love me romantically and i don't think she ever will maybe, but. in our actual bond as it is, she gives me so much. to the point where if we Were in a relationship the only thing that would change is the kissing and having sex like. uh, That's the level of intimacy as it stands right now. and i'm able to appreciate the level of friendship and depth and companionship and emotional partnership we got to. in Spite of the pining. bc it's less In My Head and more, uh. Real.

we had such a peaceful day yesterday. and it's really fucking weird, like. it's really weird 'cause usually when i'm Pining there is no space left in me for enjoying what i actually have. it's all about the longing and the not having. and yeah, that was there. like, there were so many times when i was just like 'god she is beautiful and i wish i could kiss her'. but also. it was a peaceful day. we laid down in the park for hours and watched the flowers and smoked and laughed and listened to dumb music and talked shit and read together and at some point she briefly held my hand and said 'see, you speak my same language' (i have no idea what the fuck we were on about. but it was sweet.) and it was pretty much a Relationship Day Minus The Kissing i guess but i guess what i'm saying is that i was and am so grateful to have this bond. that we created space in our lives to reach this level of companionship. even if it is what it is. even if it's not going to be anything else. and that doesn't Cancel Out the pining because of Course it doesn't. of course i'm longing and of course i'm yearning and of course i am in pain and of course i'll have a whole fucking breakdown if/when someone comes along she wants to date and of course it's messy and it's a rollercoaster of dumb emotions but. still it was a good day Because we have a silly little intense bond and that matters in itself and i do feel grateful and i guess the gratefulness and the loving and the peace matters. and maybe i won't always feel it as Much as the wish and the yearning but still. it matters.

had a fucking day yesterday. a fucking hell of a day. it's like, the moment she said she was meeting up with her ex my gut twisted about it. but i told myself, don't ruin your day over this. don't overthink it. it's just your anxiety. it's just you being jealous. and i tried to turn it off all day, to ignore it because it was just me being jealous. yeah, it fucking wasn't. or like it was, but it was also my damn gut.
and i knew the moment she texted me back that something had gone terribly wrong. and it's like, i entered a state where whatever i was feeling didn't matter. the only thing that mattered was how worried i was. the only thing that mattered was to stop this shit before i had to see her spiral back into an unhealthy relationship. i fucking trembled for the whole conversation because the only thing that mattered was making her see. making her switch back into the person she'd been up until one day earlier. one single fucking day earlier. the person who'd be so aware of how the mere idea of getting back with this man was anguishing.
and then the conversation ended and i can only fucking hope that she'll listen to the shit i said. and i was left with this worry and this helpless need for protection and this terrible jealousy and bitterness and. and i couldn't even let her see how bad it was upsetting me because it wasn't fucking about me. and my stomach closed so bad that i wasn't able to eat a thing and then i woke up this morning with a fucking stomachache.
and i guess the worst thing is that somehow part of me still holds on to hope. maybe it's because i Just Realized This Shit and i'm not ready to face... the amount of pain i face in situations of rejection. and so like, even if i'm here fucking fighting to not let her get back in that goddamn unhealthy relationship, i'm still like, "we got so much closer. who knows. this can still keep evolving in time" and i feel so so dumb for it, so so so so dumb for it but fuck, sometimes all one can do to bear the worry and the pain is have one little bit of hope. even if it's a 1%. even if it's misguided or whatever, sometimes it's unavoidable. the answer to 'do i wanna know?' is always 'no'.

a true friend will see all the most vulnerable, dark, sorrowful parts of you and love you the same if not even more after seeing them
