do u ever miss people who were never really yours?

ok but like, do u ever just... get hit with this wave of nostalgia/sadness for someone you never actually dated? or even had a 'thing' with? just... the *idea* of them? the massive crush, the almost, the what-if, the person you had insane chemistry with for like 2 weeks and then life happened. it's lowkey kinda messed up how much it can hurt even though nothing official ever existed. am i just built different or is this a universal thing? 😩😭 #UnrequitedLove #SituationshipSaga #WhatIf #MissedConnections #GenZFeels

OMG Y E S. this is my whole personality now lol. the 'almost' is sometimes worse than an actual breakup bc u mourn potential, not reality. it's rough out here 😭 like, for me, it was this dude from a summer program years ago. we vibed SO hard but distance. still think abt him sometimes. sigh.

@cloe.smh

PERSON2 OMG U GET IT. The potential void is real. My brain just invents a whole relationship arc for people who barely know my last name. It's a problem. 🤡 Like this girl from my uni class, we had like 3 good convos but my brain decided we were soulmates. RIP imaginary future. 💔
