[PRIVATE] unsolicited advice from Ate
Ate: Alam mo masyado ka kasing perfectionist. Pati sa relationships feeling mo dapat perfect, dapat ideal.
Me: I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about o.O
Ate: Look. All I’m saying. You might be missing out on a lot if you don’t at least try.
Me: *confuzzled* Anong try pinagsasabi mo.
Ate: Kasi hindi mo naman siguro gagawing wallpaper yan unless dun ka sa aso may gusto.
Me: (leche mga ate baket ang lakas ng intuition :( ) Sabi ko sayo friends kami.
Ate: ...Pero you want it to be more than that?
Me: ...
Ate: Well?
Me: I don't wan't to complicate things too much, ok? I have several friendships at stake here? I can't just go and do what I want? And how do I know she feels the same way? I don't ! And really I can't risk having her at least as a friend than things turning so weird around us if things don't work.
Ate: @_@
Me: Sorry. Just came out :-/
Ate: Obviously you feel very strongly about it.
Me: I have to think about how to do this, so that it'll be fair to her, to the both of us...
Ate: EJ...
Me: ...because I won't be able to forgive myself if I end up hurting her...
Ate: EJ!
Me: ... I really don't wan't that you know? And then she's there and I'm here and how the hell do those long-distance things work? I don't even...
Ate: ELVIS JASON SYJUCO-TAN THE THIRD!!!!
Me: What the...what are you yelling at me for?!!
Ate: Here is probably the best piece of advice you'll be hearing from me so listen and listen good: STOP OVERTHINKING THINGS TOO DAMN MUCH. JUST DO IT.
Me: *gapes*
Ate: Things will work out somehow, okay? She'll know you're sincere and that matters a great deal. Okay?
Me: O-okay. Thanks Ate *hug*
