Hey everyone!! I know that I made a post the other day and have not really followed up, but here is my informal update!!
First of all, thank you for your words of encouragement and kindness. I will say that no matter what comes out of this, I have learned a lot about being my true self from all of you as well as him.
He has been saying extremely sweet things and has really brought my confidence up. Not only that, but he stayed up with me till 1 am on a school night on a video call. I really don't know how to react, but I have cried thinking I am truly not worthy of a person like him.
To everyone wondering, I saw him last night and will see him next on the 27th. Everyone I know, ESPECIALLY my family (shockingly and especially my mother as well) are extremely supportive and want me to just tell him how I feel. My mom and my 19 year old cousin both told me I need to "rip off the bandaid" already. I, however, am beyond terrified of rejection. If anything happens, it will most likely happen over text after next Sunday when we hang out. You will all get the next update then if I have one.
Not too much else has been going on. We text everyday and send morning and night texts as well as video call when we can. He has laughed, cried, and expressed comfort with/for me and I feel like we have known each other for forever.
For those who are all just like my mother, saying, "TELL HIM ALREADY", I will say that I slowly am putting my self out there, and I guess I'll see how/where this goes. Thank you for supporting me and sorry for ranting about this. I have nobody else to really rant to and this is the one app I do not have him on.
Sending love.
