you deserve better 🥺

act 1 ~ the truth

okay so... real talk.

i've been overthinking. like, way too much. and i needed to write it down somewhere u'd actually see it 💭

some nights i lie awake and think... do u know how good u are?

like genuinely. u laugh at my dumb jokes. u remember the smallest stuff. u show up. always.

and me? i forget to text back sometimes. i overthink everything. i get weird when i'm tired. 😭

so yeah. u deserve someone way easier than me.

and still, when u smile at me like that? my brain just goes quiet. 🫠

so this is me, finally saying the thing out loud. well. typing it. same thing.

↳ replayed it 73 times. still cringe.

↳ me, at 2am, again 🌙

act 2 ~ but wait

tap each line ✨

i wrote down all the dumb stuff i kept telling myself. tap to cross it out & see what u actually deserve 🥹

№ 1 tap me ↗ 💕 u deserve someone who texts back instantly... ↳ someone who texts back IN THE SAME DECADE. (working on it. promise. 📱)

№ 2 tap me ↗ 💗 u deserve a model with abs and a six-figure trust fund... ↳ someone who fights with u over the last fry & still gives it to u. me. it's me. 🍟

№ 3 tap me ↗ 🌸 u deserve someone perfect with no bad days... ↳ someone who makes u laugh-snort when u're crying. nobody else gets that face btw. 🥹

№ 4 tap me ↗ ☕ u deserve someone who never forgets a single thing... ↳ someone who knows ur coffee order by day 3. *quietly raises hand* 🙋

№ 5 tap me ↗ 🦋 u deserve a love that's like the movies... ↳ someone who picks u every single day. not just the easy days. all of them. 💗

№ 6 tap me ↗ 💘 u deserve someone who has their whole life together... ↳ someone who's still figuring it out but always saves u a seat. front row. 🎟️

№ 7 tap me ↗ 🤍 u deserve someone who always knows what to say... ↳ someone who just sits with u in the quiet & holds ur hand thru it. 🫂

№ 8 tap me ↗ ✨ u deserve someone cooler than me... ↳ someone who's uncool in the exact same ways as u. we match. no refunds. 🧃

↳ keep tapping. u'll see ✨
