Lookback: years

I pretend I don't notice they don't wanna talk to me

I feel like I'm always the one to initiate plans and conversations with my friends, even though they seem to genuinely like me when we hang out

What I wish I knew
"that I don't need to constantly seek validation from others"
If I could tell you one thing
"don't pretend like you're fine when you're not, it's okay to address issues in your relationships"
