One, you shouldn't even want to be their friend anyway, because why would you want to have to explain to someone why they should see you?

If someone has a blindfold over their eyes, you can't just say, open your eyes and look at me and they'll see you.

They have to want to take the blindfold off.

They have to be willing to put in their own external force, their own effort, and it might be very bare minimum effort, but if they're not willing to put that in,

You guys will never see eye to eye because if they don't know themselves, if they don't know how they feel, if they aren't comfortable looking inwardly, they will never see you.

And so long as you stand there and you beg them to love you, you beg them to see you, unfortunately, that will only drive a person further.

And I don't want that for you because, again, I've been the girl who waits.

And the truth is...

If they know that you are waiting, they have it so good.

They have it so easy.

They can leave and come back however often they please.

And they know for a fact you will be there.

And so the hard truth is,

You have to break that pattern.

Whoever it is you're thinking of, again, it doesn't have to be romantic.

It could be a friend.

It could be a family member.

I want you to close your eyes and I want you to picture this string going from your heart attached to theirs, okay?

And honestly, being in that situation, like I know that's how it feels.

Sometimes it does feel like there's a literal string, something physical almost pulling you to this person so tightly and so strongly.
