Thank you so much. I try to tell myself the same thing when I’m not having a little pity party for myself (that’s definitely what this confession was)

I think what you’re saying is true. I was very swept away with the possibility, and we’d make jokes about living together, silly things like that. We stayed in contact for most of the year but he’s dating an actress now and I think this secret upset is back from subconsciously comparing myself to her and wishing I wasn’t just a normal person so I could have had a chance. Oh well! I have a wonderful life and I was lucky for the experience. Thank you for listening and putting sending a thoughtful reply, it helped me feel much better today.
