How it Works

The Friendzone Cage

Welp.

I'm in trouble.

Why? Why does the world hate me?

Long story short: I developed a crush on someone.

Which is bad; considering the last time I had a crush on someone, things didn't go so well. It was complicated between us and we decided to quit while we're at it.

But this... this is way different.

Because this person is a friend. They're not someone I instantly felt attracted to. They're not someone I flirted with at the beginning of our relationship; they are my friend.

My fucking friend.

I don't do cliches, but holy fucking cookies this whole situation is a big, pain-in-the-ass cliche.

I became the cliche story I used to write at the age of 11.

Shit.

Ya know, after the whole mess with my ex-crush, I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything get in my way of building my happiness. That included not developing feelings/falling in love with a person.

I was 14 and heartbroken, don't judge me.

But the universe slapped me in the fucking face with this person, then injected emotions into my heart. Ugh.

And like all cliches, I don't want to pursue anything in the fear of losing my friend. And I'm 100% sure they're not into me, well 99.99% sure.

They were just a friend, and then I had to mess shit up by developing feelings.

But... I couldn't help it.

They're sweet and smart. They have the same dark sense of humor as I do. We enjoy the same tv shows, movies, and taste in music. They make me laugh and I enjoy making them laugh. Not to mention, they're really cute.

God... I sound like a lovesick puppy, which I'm NOT. It's just a crush.

I'd rather stay as friends and not risk anything. They're my friend first, after all.

THE WORLD WANTS ME TO SUFFER. FUCK THIS BS.

Developing a crush towards your friend is the worst. You basically locked yourself in the friendzone cage and gave the key to your arch nemesis, your brain. Because the reasonable side of you knows you'll never get out of there, so you better be cozy; it's your new home.

I think I'll just stick to the stupid promise I made to myself and not get involved in relationships. I might as well become a dog lady. (I prefer dogs over cats)

Let's hope this crush will go away with time.

ANYWAYS

Read ya later!
