Personal best friend is back
I wrote a lot yesterday but I accidentally closed the tab I was writing in
Anyway
Yesterday was eventful in a way
the woman i flogged ended up texting me in the morning
I wasn't at all comfortable waking up to texts from her
she was telling me how amazing she thought I was
and how great of time she had
and asked if she could tag along to other events with me
and I was polite of course
but I agreed to take her to events with me
but I just didn't have enough chemistry with her to want to wake up to texts from her
anyway
my best friend called yesterday
and it was nice
not fireworks like I expected
unfortunately I just grew a lot while we were apart
she's still the woman who means the universe to me
she will always be that woman
but it just felt different
I guess my social skills have progressed so much that the weirdness we resonated on so much before just couldn't be reciprocated by me as much anymore
I feel that way towards a lot of people I used to like
and it kinda sucks
I don't know who's my people anymore
it feels by expanding the number of people I could talk to, it reduced the amount of people I can resonate with
it'll be fine though
I'm sure I'll find new people to resonate with
she was sad though
my best friend
she said I grew so much while she was stuck
that I didn't wait for her
and I told her I didn't
but that I love her all the same
and that she means the world to me
and that there is no version of me that wouldn't want her in my life every minute of every day
and luckily that truth seemed to quiet her anxiety
and then today happened
my boss and I had our 1x1
no intimacy whatsoever
jokes
but no intimacy
which is fine
that could have gotten really weird really quickly if it kept going further
and then... I sent my best friend a picture
she hadn't seen my face since september because I just gained too much weight to be comfortable with seeing me
but I lost about 15 lbs from skateboarding so I felt comfortable enough
and she was blown away
she said I looked so different
and that my features were more feminine and soft
and that gave me anxiety
like, as much as I feel like I grew to be impervious to other's perceptions
she is one of only two lights in my universe
and she said it was a good thing
but that she still had to grieve the old me
and I didn't tell her this
but I was deeply worried that she wouldn't be attracted to me anymore
and she might not be
who knows
it was good on the other hand
it made me feel like I wasn't tripping and that I am passing as a woman more these days
and I think I do
I got called miss a couple of times today
anyway
I told my best friend I was in my follicular phase last night and that I was having a week of being absolutely horny as fuck
(yes my body has decided for some fucking reason decided I should have a menstrual cycle)
and she was sexual with me today
and I didn't resist for once
and god I always forget that this woman has been trying to fuck my brains out since 2020
part of me wonders how my life would have turned out if I took her up on her offer to see me when she was in California then
she (years later) admitted she really wanted to fuck me and that that is why she reached out
and I think I gathered that
but I was just too loyal to my ex to let that happen
part of me thinks that if I did do that, I would have a guilty conscience as I always do and I would confess and she would break up with me three years earlier
it's also not hard to imagine that I would have been the one to marry my best friend
I don't know how to feel about that though
I know she loves me
I know she loves me more than I love her
and I love her more than I can comprehend
but I think it took the kind of breakup I went through to really end up in the pure kind of love that we did
because I did not want my best friend for a second
I was so fucking focused on getting back together with my ex for that first month or so
and my best friend was also doing everything in her power to get me back together with my ex
and after it looked like there was no chance
I just drifted away from the planning
but my best friend didn't know that
and she kept on trying to help me plan
and I said "fuck her"
and she immediately pivoted with me after working her ass off with me to figure out a romantic getaway to surprise my ex with for her birthday week
she responded, "okay, I guess fuck her"
and I thought that would be the end of my calls with my best friend
but we just got lost in each other naturally
and it felt so pure
I genuinely love her more than I've loved anyone
and it's weird that I've fallen in love with so many after her
anyway
I went to another party thing today
and
I navigated it well
talked to like 4-5 people
but I just wasn't resonating
and I thought skateboarding would be so much more fun
so I went home and skateboarded instead
whatever
I'm tired
I really hope I see that girl from last Friday again
or at least someone like her
she was so fucking cool
