Can you be in love with two people?
The story
so here's the thing, i'm in this super confusing situation where i've somehow managed to fall for two different people. like how did i even get here??? on one hand, there's my childhood sweetheart who's always been there for me... you know those cheesy movies where the best friend is your first love? that's us. and it's not like that spark has ever gone away. we've got years of memories together, inside jokes that never get old, a comfort in knowing what the other one's thinking just from a single look... but then, boom! during a work trip (those always seem so predictable until they're not), I meet someone who hits totally different vibes. it's like suddenly I'm feeling all these new things I didn't even know I was missing... now i'm juggling them both in my mind. guilty as hell! it feels like an absolute mess knowing neither one deserves to be caught up in my chaos?!?!
it's such a wild ride because they couldn't be more different if they tried!!! with my sweetheart it's all cozy and nostalgic; stability at its finest! everything about it screams reliability even when life's throwing curveballs our way and heck yeah we've had some tough talks cause who hasn't right?! then there's this new person who's just unleashed this whole side of me that's been dormant??? excitement, spontaneity! trying out new stuff, laughing at dumb jokes that somehow feel profound?!! ugh maybe i'm just too far into overthinking land... but seriously can you truly love two people at once or am i losing it 🥴 i mean i can't imagine hurting either of them or giving up on these connections that just mean so much to me; no clear path but loads of angst!!
