I still have a folder on my phone saved with photos of us and I never delete them.

I'm terrified that I will never actually find a person who accepts my flaws without trying to change me.

My coworker always leaves the microwave dirty with popcorn splatter, so I put a sticky note inside saying "Your mother doesn't work here."

I change the playlist on my phone whenever your favorite song comes on so I don't accidentally listen to it too much.

I make excuses to walk past your desk just to smell the cologne you wear.

I feel completely emotionally numb most days, but a random commercial will make me weep uncontrollably.

I've secretly been a fan of your art since you started making videos three years ago.

Your name is always the first thing I think of when my phone rings and there is no call.

Everyone in my high school class is buying houses and starting companies while I am still figuring out my next meal.

My boss knows I cry when watching movies, especially romantic comedies at work parties 😂

Watching my parents grow old and frail breaks my heart in slow motion every time I visit home.

My roommate refused to take out the trash, so I placed the leaking bag right on the driver's seat of his car.

My parents think I sold my old trading cards for $100. I sold them for $4,500 and paid off my tuition balance.

My roommate hogs the hot water during showers, so I turn the hot water valve down halfway in the basement.

I abandoned a personal goal to focus on something that would keep me safe and sound for years.
