Chapter 1: What is the concept behind the messages you wish you sent?
A listener production.
This is Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki. And if you're easily offended, then this might not be for you. What I'm trying to get at is, is that I would swim across the crocodile-infested water of the Amazonian River with naught but a loincloth made from bacon if it means I could gaze upon the aeroplane carrying you across the horizon. Why would you be in that plane?
And why would I be on the Amazon forest is besides the point. Wait for it. And the point has been made. Accept my friend request, Nikki, and let fate run its course. Cheers, babes. Welcome to Happy Hour with Lucy and Nikki, the real life shit you only discuss over a drink. But before we start, a little disclaimer. So today we are here with a whole new concept, guys. So this is the...
The letters and the messages that you wrote but never sent. I'm going to be honest with you. In some instances, I'm glad because you sound like a borderline freak. In other instances, they're really nice and I'm like, I was with you sitting in your feels, you know.
Chapter 2: How do unrequited feelings influence unsent messages?
Sometimes I think, I'm like, sometimes it's nice to get messages like that too. Yeah. It's so hard putting, wearing your heart on your sleeve and sending those bold messages, you know. We're all so scared. I also don't, don't you think though in the instances, like even I'm thinking to the instances where I've sent big messages like that. It's because they don't like you. Anymore.
Or they don't like you as much and you like them. Yeah. Otherwise, you'd be aligning on things. Or you'd at least be like having a conversation about it. Yeah. Yeah, these are definitely all quite romantic and stuff. It's kind of like one-sided unrequited love vibes. Or like, you know, I'm so sad that this didn't work out meanwhile. They're like, see you later. Boos. Boos. Nah.
You never know though. Like people's breakups go on for fucking ages. What about... So... Just another one of my failed romantic encounters. But there's this guy and I just was so fucking obsessed with him. Didn't work out, whatever. And I would, you know, like have all these moments where I would write all these things like this and like be so like, you know, I wish it had worked out.
You're so good at these messages though. And I wouldn't send a lot of them because I was like spiraling hard. Anyway, I had to give him something of his that I had back and And, like, I had to post it to it.
Chapter 3: What challenges arise when expressing deep emotions?
And I, like, wrote, like, a little note. It was, like, you know, kind of, like, it's a shame kind of how things worked out. Oh, sure. I told you this. On paper? Yeah. Physical note. Yeah, I didn't know there was one on paper. Anyway, I was like so like torn up about it. Like, oh my God, I wonder if he's going to get that and write back and be like, I actually love you, Lucy, blah, blah, blah.
Had a new girlfriend already and I didn't know. He would have to do the sneaky unboxing. He was like, oh shit, I just needed this back because I wouldn't. Yeah. So that's what I mean. Unrequited love, babe. I know. It's a full thing, isn't it? And all of these people that have written these in, unrequited love. But let's get into it because there's some goodies. There is.
So the first unsaid message, so be it. Oh, jeez. I diddly, I diddly, sorry. I diddly doodly, diddly doodly love you. Love bomber. After five days. Yeah. It genuinely feels like you've done a backflip and it's really hard to get my head around it. I don't know what to say or do now because I'm scared of overwhelming you and saying the wrong thing. So now I just say nothing.
But then you question why I'm not talking. I just feel like you don't even want this. You never fight for us ever. You just let me walk away. I'm so confused because when I originally left to go home, you called me to say you still needed me and how much you wanted to do with me. I know you were triggered by the cheating stuff, but it's really not that deep.
People aren't going to accuse you of shit unless you're giving them a reason and being shady. I know... You said you're cautious about not fucking it up, but people make mistakes and that's how we learn. I know what I want. It's you who needs to work it out.

Chapter 4: How do past relationships shape current feelings?
Wow. Okay, so they are obviously getting back together or like they were together, they've broken up, they've spent five days together, got back on the same page in an instance and now he's back flipped because she's like, we just spent the most incredible five days together. Yeah. Like, it's not like that was... They just met and only had five days together.
I reckon they were in a long relationship. Oh, okay, okay. Then they've broken up. I was like, wow, that's a lot to happen in five days. Jesus Christ. No way. That's a big five days on the tools. I think maybe, like, someone's moved or, like, there's been... Something's happened, like, some breakup vibe. Then it's like... Don't worry if people accuse you of cheating. I don't know.
Yeah, so maybe they were together. It's a fractured relationship. There was some kind of scandal. There was some sort of departing of ways. They've come back together after some time, spent an amazing five days together. Five days in bed together. And then he's like almost knee-jerk reactioned again and been like, I don't know if I can do this. Yeah, freaked out again. Oh, babe.
I don't know why you didn't just send that. I would just say send that. Yeah, well written, doll. I think that was so fine. And he does need to work out what he wants, obviously. Oh, God, when you're in that moment when you're like essentially there kind of being like I'm in, are you kind of thing.
Yeah.
It's always that really like because I've been in situations like this before and it's like that kind of like on one hand, you want to like play it cool and not say anything because it's like, no, you should chase me. But on the other hand, in like six months time, you could be like, fuck, I wish I just had a warm my heart on my sleeve. Yeah, because like you'll always be left wondering what if.
Like I wonder if I just like reached out or if we just gave it a proper shot or like you just said that if you'd be together. I know. Always just say it. What? You are giving advice that you would not take. You would be stubborn not saying anything.

Chapter 5: What role does timing play in romantic relationships?
I'd die on that hill, motherfucker. Yeah. Free will, baby. Never heard of it. Nikki, just say it. I'm like, I feel like you'd be blocking him and walking away. No, I wouldn't. I'd block and delete and get a new boyfriend, put a thirst drop up, see ya.
Oh.
Fucking hell, you cracked me up. How about this one? The grocery store. In 10 years' time. Oh, no. I'm glad you didn't send it. Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no. I'm just getting a bit awkward. In 10 years' time, I'll see you at the grocery store. You'll smile widely and I'll do a double take. We'll glance over at the items each other has in their baskets. Bananas. Eggs. Me?
Strawberry yogurts and carrots, actually. You? Hundreds and thousands and nappies. We'll ask how each other are. We'll go through formalities. Odd small talk here and there. There will be a linger. There will linger a haze of what could have been in a different life. I could have been getting all four of those items or vice versa.
And it would be one trip to the store, not two separate people with two separate trips. But that's not the way things went. We fell apart. Two boats in different oceans, but still tethered together through the soul bond that clicked into place like a puzzle all those years ago in that hopeful winter sun. Winter sun being hopeful, never heard of that either. I'll smile at you.
You'll say you need to get back and I'll say, yeah, no, me too. We'll pay with separate cards at separate tills. But it could have been the same credit card, just so you know. Oh, yeah. Could have been going into that joint bank account. Could have been going halfies for a laughy. And I'll watch the back of your sandy hair disappear into the parking lot.
The same winter sun will be on my back as I walk in another direction. She's a little bit of a poet, isn't she? I am so glad you didn't send that to anyone.

Chapter 6: How can communication styles vary between genders?
I'm glad that just made it here to us because that freaked me out. Strawberry yogurts and carrots. Okay, health nut. Specifically. And he's obviously making fairy bread for his child. So I'm getting the vibe that that's like a couple that have broken up but they're running. I always used to imagine running into my ex in the bloody... I know. Yeah, but you imagine it. You don't text him about it.
I definitely didn't write a poem about it. But it's kind of like I used to always say this about my ex and maybe I am doubling on the edge of cringe. I used to always be like, I feel like the lyrics out of that Gwen Stefani I Know We're Cool song, that's how I could imagine like our relationship. No, I love it that that's...
You, you've always imagined that to be you and your ex, but every time we talk about something, you're like, yeah, you know that song Cool by Gwen Stefani, but you never say that you've thought about it for you, but you're like, it's about that. And I'm like, oh, you know that's about me. Well, no, you've never admit that, but now that I do. Always.
I've always said that would be like, that's like the song that I imagine.
That's like your ex song.
For like how things could be.
I know we're cool.
I have another song I always think about how my ex will be too, but I was like, fuck, I can't have too many soundtracks to my past. Literally. No, but I was reminiscing. I've got a song in mind for one of your exes, not the one you're thinking of, and it's like heavy metal. I'm riding solo. I'm riding solo. Jason Derulo got me through my breakup with my crazy ex.
I was like driving in my Holden Astra. I'm driving in Unclad now, my head's in the car. I'm solo. I'm riding solo. I'm riding solo. I thought that was such a moment of like independence. I was like, wow, let's fucking go. That is a track, to be fair. Cheap Tuesday. What are you looking for in your phone right now? I need to find that poetic message that I got sent that time. It's so funny, babe.

Chapter 7: What lessons can be learned from unsent messages?
The fact that you even know who wrote that to you. No, I just searched bacon. Oh, yes. In my messages. And believe it or not, guess who comes up? You, organizing breakfast. Yeah, like chips, sausages, and bacon, et cetera. 2012, big on the bacon. 2012. Oh, God, here we go. So, guys, I got this message from like a random Facebook account. It was like a fake account. It says Facebook user now.
Wow.
Fourth of April, 2011. I've never forgotten it because it was so fucking wackadoodle. Okay, here it goes. On the heavenly blessed beauty scale of those whose divine grace is young and everlasting, you most certainly stand proud amongst the sevens.
The seven of the metric scale, whereby 10 being impossible to achieve, for surely no such blessed... They just call you a seven and try and sugarcoat it. Yeah, they've called me a seven out of 10. Wait for it. For no such beauty shares this place with mere mortals, thereby leaving nine as the highest rating. Although these final two points are set aside for personality.
Unfortunately, given the lack of opportunity to assess said personality, two points must be deducted in brackets or held back, henceforth leaving you at a seven, which is still mighty impressive to say the least.
What I'm trying to get at is, is that I would swim across the crocodile-infested water of the Amazonian River with naught but a loincloth made from bacon if it means I could gaze upon the aeroplane carrying you across the horizon. Why would you be in that plane? And why would I be on the Amazon forest is besides the point. And the point has been made.
Accept my friend request, Nikki, and let fate run its course. For we are in the sea of destiny and who knows what each wave will bring with it. Definitely didn't reply to that one. Hey, but I am sorry. I want you to put that online and find out what person wrote that. That is poetic genius. It's incredible. I've never forgotten that message. I was like, incredible. Who wrote that to you?
I never found out. It was someone at uni. Oh, yeah. That's giving me boy. Wow. Sorry.
In noise.

Chapter 8: How does the fear of vulnerability affect relationship dynamics?
That is an unreal message. It's fucking wackadoodle, but it's incredible. If you could actually send that to me, I might whip that out to a few boys on Hinge this week, see how it lands. Babe, you don't need to with old mate. What was your latest pick-up line that was incredible? Oh, the rockets over Iran. No, how's this for a creepy one? I was like, fuck me. Oh, God. Unreal.
I need a restraining order against this guy, and it looks like he's got some really hectic filter on. You know what they say that love is when you don't want to sleep because reality is better than your dreams. And after seeing you, I don't think I ever want to sleep again. Oh, God. And blurry filter face. Oh, no. It's giving IU on meth. It's giving IU on meth, honestly.
But anyway, I reckon get back to poetry. This grocery store was leaning into that. That was leaning right into that, babe. That's the only reason I thought of that. I was like, wow. Well, safe to say, I'm glad the person at the grocery store didn't send that. Yeah. Your guy actually did send it to you. But he's anonymous. Yeah, he's anonymous. Should have accepted the friend request. Too scared.
The other girl. There is so much I want to say, so much I wish I could explain to you in person. But clearly, I can't do that without drowning in a puddle of tears. So I'll try to tell you this way. Hopefully, maybe, I'll be able to finally say it. Oh, my God. that I wouldn't let this happen. And now that it has, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get attached.
And I'm so confused as to how this happened because not only did I tell myself that I can't, but I also told myself that I'd never let myself feel this way towards anyone again for a long time. On the phone just then, it broke me to hear you say, I need to have a big chat to her and tell her things need to change.
Because as horrible as it is to say, part of me just wishes you'd stop fighting for your relationship and wishing for things to change and instead just leave. I'll never understand the position you're in because I've never been in that position that you're in. But I want you to know that I meant it when I said, I really do like you and I'm here for you.
This whole situation has made me realize that I really do have so much love in me to give. Oh, jeez. And I hope eventually things will work out and I can give that to you. Because whether you like it or not, that's what I want. I love that you started talking more like this towards the end. That freaked me out. She's the other woman. So she's the other woman. And she's just like...
She likes the man. She likes the man. But she swore she would never. She said it in, she probably could have condensed that down. Yeah. And I would have said something more along the lines of, I'm not being your side piece anymore. Fuck with. Chat, spice this up. Yeah. I'm not being your side piece anymore. Sort out your fucking relationship at home, bruv. Because I quite like you.
Yeah, so do you reckon she's the other woman? She's the other woman. Yeah. And he has made the decision he's staying with his partner. Yeah. And she's like, I said we wouldn't get feelings, but I do have feelings. Wow, so she was the other woman that was just shagging him on the side OTS.
