LOVE CRAZE

WALK AWAY

Moving on from that relationship was not as simple as I thought it would be. Though toxic, he would check up on me once in a while and his calming deep voice would make me blush every so often. He had mastered a way of finding my soft spot and manipulate it to his advantage. I soon came to learn this, with time.

I was busy with school and work but I became busier after the break-up. Walking away from situations that don't work for me is a gift from my lovely parents. I got to learn from a very young age, when and how to walk away from unhealthy situations.

He would still try to reach out to me with fake apologies and half efforts only to disappoint me over and over again. I was fed up but didn't want to be by myself. Adulting was taking over and I wasn't sure I would handle everything alone. Self-love, however, was so profound that shutting the door was very mandatory.

I started a journey of working on my inner self and hanging out with my friends more to fill in the void. With time, however, I stopped going out for fun and opted to stay in and create the fun. Tha was such a short-lived moment because it slipped away slowly, with my demanding schedule. Eight months later, I got a promotion at work, which would lead to an eventful series of celebrations.

I was so excited to share the news with my friends and partying happened for two weeks straight. I then realized I had the wrong company and my partying life had to end after suffering from alcohol poisoning...a story for another day.

Still recovering from my ordeal, I decided to meet up with my cousins for a celebratory lunch at my favourite restaurant. It so happened that he bumped into an old friend and had to come over to say hi. That's when my second love regret happened, worse than the first.

Let's call him guy 2.

Now that we've judged my first guy, let's go meet the second one and judge him too.
