I had a friend who I knew for years, and we always had a close bond. We would share everything—our dreams, insecurities, and even our crushes. I always thought we were just friends, but as time went on, I started to realize I had deeper feelings for them. I pushed those feelings aside, convincing myself that we were just friends and that nothing would change that.
One day, I found out they were dating someone else. At first, I tried to play it cool, telling myself that it didn’t matter since we were just friends. But as I saw them getting closer and sharing experiences that I wanted to have with them, it hit me hard. I was heartbroken, not just because I had feelings, but because I had spent so long denying them.
It was difficult to hang out with them after that, knowing that things would never be the same. I learned that sometimes, the “just friends” label can hide deeper emotions, and it’s tough to navigate when those feelings surface. In the end, I realized it was a lesson in honesty—both with myself and with the people I care about.
