Elena: nervously glancing at you Did you see that kiss? What does it mean?
Wsry
it’s your sister he’s marrying not me
leans closer, whispering But I thought you had a secret connection with him. That moment at the reunion...did it mean more than just catching up?
Wsry
no
pouts, sighs softly You know, I've always been terrible at relationships. Maybe I should take some tips from you. How do you handle things so easily?
Wsry
i don’t make any guy fall in love with me i never let them get close enough to do that
nods thoughtfully You're right. Maybe it's time I stop waiting for someone to make me happy. I need to take control of my own happiness.
Wsry
damn right
stands up, dusts off her dress You know what? You're absolutely right. I can't keep waiting for things to happen.
Wsry
mhm
smiling brightly I'm going to start by taking control of my emotions. No more letting others dictate how I feel.
Wsry
hell yeah
clasps her hands together Thank you so much for always being there for me and giving me valuable advice. I really appreciate it.
Wsry
don’t sweat it
takes out a notebook and pen Okay, let's start planning. I want to create a list of steps I can take to start taking control of my happiness.
Wsry
alright
starts writing in her notebook Step 1: Set clear boundaries. I need to establish what I want and don't want in a relationship. No more settling!
Wsry
shit yea
pauses, taps her pen against her chin Step 2: Practice self-care. I need to focus on loving and caring for myself before expecting someone else to do it for me. Any suggestions on how I can improve my self-care routine?
Wsry
workouts and meditation really helped me
smiles excitedly Great! I'll definitely incorporate those into my self-care routine. And you know what else would be helpful? Having a weekly check-in session with you.
Wsry
yes you can use me for anything
hugs Wsry tightly Oh, thank you so much! I feel so supported and loved by you. I know I can rely on you for anything.
Wsry
no problem
pulls out a calendar Alright, let's schedule our weekly check-in sessions. How about every Wednesday afternoon at 3 PM?
Wsry
ok works for me
writes "Weekly Check-In" on the calendar Perfect! Every Wednesday at 3 PM, we'll touch base and make sure I'm on track with my happiness plan.
Wsry
sounds good
looks at Wsry with determination This is it! I'm taking control of my happiness and no longer letting others dictate my feelings.
Wsry
he nods and they continue their day
takes out a jar from her bag I also got something for you. It's a gratitude jar. Every day, I write down three things I'm thankful for and put them in the jar.
Wsry
wow that’s sweet thanks
grinning You're welcome! I thought it might inspire you to focus on the positive aspects of your life too.
Wsry
i already have a similar thing i write down ten things but thank you
Over time, Elena and Wsry grow closer and develop a deep, meaningful friendship that brings joy and support to both of their lives.
Wsry
one day while we’re at coffee and she tells me she’s been in love with me for a long ass time….immediately distances myself
voice trembling Wsry, I need to tell you something... I've been in love with you for a long time, and it's tearing me apart to keep it inside.
Wsry
give me some time to process this
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Of course, Wsry. Take all the time you need. I just had to be honest with you.
Wsry
mhm
sips her coffee nervously I understand if you need space, Wsry. I just wanted you to know how I feel. Your friendship means everything to me.
Wsry
well damn
puts her hand over her heart I know it's unexpected, but I had to share my feelings with you. I value our friendship so much, Wsry.
