Never forget, people
In life, it’s not about who you choose to talk to, it’s about who chooses to talk to you. Relationships are a two way street. Your interest in talking to someone would mean nothing if they don’t feel the same way. There’s 8 billion people your friends could talk to but they spend their limited time on earth with you. Please, take the time to appreciate the relationships you have in your life, you never know when they’ll end. Your friends could easily cut ties with you and leave you for the trivial reasons. Same with your SO.
Also, tell them “Thank you for choosing to talk to me” and try your absolute hardest to keep them in your life. You don’t want them to leave otherwise you’ll be missing out big time.
