I just wrote to my original crush from Freshman year (and actually every year) of high school, and little baby 9th grader me would have been nervous as fuck but it’s crazy how things change and how people grow up and saying “Ayy” is just a cool way to start a conversation. This boy was basically the one I wanted so badly before my hs boyfriend got with me and I always kinda wondered what if? Now I’m older and live on my own and know that life is groovy and you never know what the fuck could happen any day. Like I could get hit by a bus, or meet a guy in his late twenties in Washington (which happened and I’m still so overwhelmed by that night), or hang out with a dude who baby freshman Tessa would have believed was completely out of her league and have him tell her that she’s great. And I’m getting a bit off topic here but I think it’s because I need to appreciate my life more because when I think about it, it’s pretty fly. I need to know that something different happens everyday and like meeting cool boys is a super great addition but the experiences can validate my greatness but then it doesn’t have to be dependent on that validation. Boys are cute and I’ve learned that I can sometimes be cute so imma do me and love all that comes my way hoping that what lasts is what is good for me.
