❝ the first step ❞

so! richie asked to hang out today.

i'm gonna try to keep this short.

we went to a golf course and talked about some stuff. the first thing richie brought up was communication issues.

he took most of the blame for things. he's been really depressed for all of quarantine. it wasn't until this event thing he got to go to and meet cool people that he felt happy.

anyways, we talked a lot. talked about the elephant in the room. i got explanations as to why he did certain things, and i feel better knowing.

i told him the major things that i could thing of. i was depressed when i was with him, i felt like i had to live to some perfect ideal image that just wasn't me, and how he said some stuff to me that had long-lasting impacts.

  i made richie feel replaced though. that was never my intention. i mentioned how me and casey were dating in a way that hurt richie, and i had no idea. after explaining my side though and how i was trying to be cautious and not end up leading richie on, i just blurted out that me and casey are dating.

  today really helped us both. i feel like i can move on from what happened.

we also talked about casey some. he says he's happy for us and doesn't want to come between us.

  we also played some tennis while we talked, and he had me run around. i think he plans on us hanging out to do cardio exercises now.

  we plan on watching atla tonight :)
