This is the kind of forced angst I hate because all brown haired girl had to do was let her friend finish the darn diary to realize it was mutual.
.
The angst here felt forced.
nah, angst wasn't forced here, teenagers are just stupid
I say this with full confidence as someone who had two mutual pinings in my life go nowhere. when you're naive to relationships and communication, and have little confidence in yourselves, it's far too easy to pass each other by
on that note, mutual pining stories always hit me hard because it scrapes up all of my regrets of being a dumb teenager
