Instagrammable ice cream, we are offering the best version of ourselves. Five years ago, I met Kate (not her actual name) at a business function.
I felt a connection right away after we stayed together all night after a little talk. Although I had previously fallen for a platonic girl friend swiftly, timing and looks can often be misleading.
I usually kept my guard up, but below that was a sensitive girl who didn’t always adequately guard her heart and fell for people easily, whether they were friends or lovers.
We discovered we had a lot in common, from our neighborhoods to our interests and our need for authenticity (or so I believed) after the evening, in addition to feeling like long-lost best friends.
We traded phone numbers, but I was cautiously hopeful and didn’t want to give myself up. However, it’s uncommon to find a female friend.
Or someone of significance who really praises you, particularly in New York City. In light of that, I finally overcame my anxiety and allowed our relationship to blossom.
