PROLOGUE
Let's be real here. Chances of falling in love with your best friend are ranging from slight to hard. There's no "I've never ever liked my best friend, like seriously." Like really? Are you fucking kidding me? C'mon, don't be a hypocrite. In some point of your friendship, you've felt something, deep down that hypothalamus of yours, you definitely felt something special towards your best friend. I mean, just think about it. There are a lot of "best friends" who become couples (if you're fucking lucky, psh).
It's an advantage to have someone who already knows everything about you. It feels good to have someone who knows how crazy and weird you can get and you would not give a shit about it because they are as crazy and weird as you are too. You would not worry about introducing each other to your parents because they probably seen it coming already and you already know each other's family down to your second cousins or third.
But is it really that great to date your best friend? It is really that good to fall for your best friend?
Hmm, for me. No.
Don't even fall.
It's heart wrenching. It's devastating. It will hurt your heart like crazy and it will be like every part of your body will feel the pain too.
How do I know?
Lol, it's because I'm stupid.
I'm stupid for falling for my best friend.
I fell madly, deeply, truly, irrevocably, unconditionally and utterly in love with my best friend.
And damn... it was so painful. Like the chest pounding, heart clenching, drop to your knees whilst hot tears keeps flowing like a river down your cheeks. You can even taste the saltiness of stupidity and the pain of falling in love with your best friend. It's not delicious, everybody. I've been there. And I'm here to warn you guys.
Feeling something for your best friend? Abort mission.
Stop while you can...
Or if you're okay with being stupid, (coughs, like me, coughs)...
