there was a girl, a friend of a friend’s. her name is alice

we hung out and she was very friendly. in fact, despite that she left earlier in the night, i attribute my 2nd best ever club experience to that night with her.

She gave me her number in her friendly way. put a purple love heart next to her name. the only girl to. but i forgot to message her, she reminded me the next time we met. i told her i forgot. i know i don’t tell white lies just to save people - at least then.

I could tell she was suffering. i could tell from her instagram stories. she’d opened herself up to people so much but it was rarely reciprocated.

i met her just when she was giving up.

She was the first person I could tell was truly like me.

I saw her.

and what i now see is that when u open yourself up to embrace everyone, you open yourself up to be rejected by everyone. and worse, to be used by them.

but there is no point in going against our nature. because it’s these qualities that make us special.

what we have is the true essence of humanity. generosity.
