reposting this because 'boundaries' does not mean pretending you’re chill until you become impossible to live with. things i am learning, unfortunately in public: - trusting someone and feeling uncomfortable can exist at the same time - not asking is not the same as respecting privacy - 'i’m scared of losing you' is a relationship sentence - 'go be happy without me' is a fight starter wearing a fake halo saying 'i’m jealous' feels like swallowing glass. still better than making the person you love defend a crime they didn’t commit.
