I’ve spent the last three years wrestling with a friendship that feels like a rollercoaster. It’s been tough, full of fear and uncertainty about what love means, and whether heartbreak is in my future.

But through all the ups and downs, there’s this deep appreciation for what we have. I don’t shy away from the emotional complexity anymore; instead, I’m learning to accept it all as part of life.

I realize now that being scared doesn’t really protect me. Staying open to possibilities feels more freeing than shutting down my heart. Unconditional love doesn’t come easy, but it’s worth figuring out, one day at a time.
