I fell in love with a boy back in 7th-8th grade. In 9th grade, I told him I liked him because I couldn’t handle the heaviness in my heart. After that, we lost contact. We were in the same class but didn’t talk to each other.
For years, I thought I had made a mistake by confessing, but now I feel I did the right thing. If I hadn’t told him, I would have always wondered if he would have given me a chance. It’s been 7 yrs since then, and I still can’t move on. I don’t know why, but even now, I have strong feelings for him.
The hardest part? He’s in a relationship with a girl who is also my friend. Every time I see him, I don’t know what happens to me—I just want him to be mine so badly. But at the same time, I know we’re not meant to be together. It’s exhausting, and I don’t know what to do anymore.
How do I move on? If anyone has book recommendations, personal experiences, or any advice, I’d really appreciate it. I just want to let go and find peace.
