So a while back, I made a post about this person who I met through the online school we both go to, became best friends almost instantly, and how I was super confused about my feelings towards them.

We have grown so much together ever since we met. And I get scared thinking about a life where they wouldn’t be in it.

We talk to each other almost every other day. And for my sixteenth birthday, she agreed to come down to the town I live in to celebrate it with me! It’s honestly a dream come true!

Somewhere around the time after Christmas, I decided to suck it up and tell them how I felt. I was so scared. Having had talked with my therapist about it prior, long story short, she basically said I was practically a lovesick puppy for them. Which is absolutely true.

They are the moon to my stars, the cookie to my milk, the cheese to my pizza, I feel the urge to kiss their forehead and hold their hand and have everyone see it. So, I told them what my true feelings were. I was so scared with how they would reply, and if they would reject me.

But then they replied. They said they felt the same way! I asked them if they wanted to start dating me, and to take it slow. I would never want to rush them to make them feel uncomfortable, and honestly I like how things are right now. Not much has change, and we’re both perfectly happy with that!

But ever since we made our feelings for each other official, I’ve been happier overall, which is amazing since I’ve been struggling with chronic anxiety and depression for almost five years.

I love them so much, more than words could describe. And I’m so grateful to have them in my lives.
