You dont have to date to get to kiss and share other intimate moments.
And you might end up stayingonly friendswith someone who you fall madly, irretrievably in love with.
Your heart doesnt know the difference between labels.

Maksim Goncharenok
You should never feel weird about the fact that you fell in love with someone who you never dated.
Your feelings are still valid.
Your journey is still real.

Youre allowed to feel like you were strung along and used, like they took advantage of your feelings.
You dont have to be in a committed relationship with someone to get to experience heartbreak.
You dont have toearnyour pain.
If youre upset about whatever has happened between the two of you, thats okay.
You should let yourself feel.
Let yourself grieve the things youve lost and the things you never even gained.
Its okay if it takes you a while to move on from this person.
Dont let anyone make you feel uncomfortable about your emotions.
Dont let anyone tell you how youshouldfeel.
Your emotions dont care about expectations.
You feel how you feel.
Thats all there is to it.
And from everything else that might hurt your heart.
You might not have dated this person, but you grew attached to them.
You let yourself imagine a future with them.
Its okay to wish things turned out differently.
