say what I need to say
The Ultimatum 4 weeks ago

I have liked the same person for about 3 and a half years now. Maybe it’s because no one else has come along, but I just never quite got over him. Maybe’s and what if’s, you know?

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I deserve better for myself. I deserve someone who wants me, not someone I feel like I have to pursue. I’m 19 and no one seems to be interested, which sucks, but I must play a part in that. I think the only way I can get over him is for him to tell me, point blank, that there’s nothing there. That’s what I need to say, I want a relationship or I need to stop being your friend for awhile. Because I deserve better than to wait for someone who knows how I feel but won’t do anything.

Maybe I’ll write a letter, maybe I’ll call him and we can have dinner. But I need to say this to him or I don’t know how I’ll move on.

#43 The End! 1 month ago

From The Shop Around the Corner:

Alfred Kralik: Are you disappointed?
Klara Novak (Miss Novak): Psychologically, I’m very confused… But personally, I don’t feel bad at all.

And this “thing” is done. It took longer than I thought, but it was a good exercise.
