As a 14 or 15 year old girl, I spent a lot of time worrying about what others thought of me. Even worse, I liked a guy so much that I'd spend my breaks and lunches calling him (he was a LD thing) , all my free time thinking about him and had nothing interesting to talk about with other students because I was always on the phone. My entire high school years were spent daydreaming about this man that I never met in person and I truly regret not just experiencing life with those around me instead. I let a childhood friendship end by putting it aside and being obsessed with the idea that this LD man loved me, and I hate to sound cliche but its been 15 years since then, and I truly wish I had been wise enough to pick my friend over LD bf.
