Funny Story

by Emily Henry

“I’ve always been more of a few close friends person. And when I meet people who like everyone, are liked by everyone, this alarm goes off in my brain. Like, Okay, this person isn’t going to stick around, so don’t get attached.”

You can’t force a person to show up, but you can learn a lesson when they don’t.

Trust people’s actions, not their words.

I’ve always wanted to be that fun, easy person with no baggage, even with Petra. But after a while, someone either finally sees you or they don’t, and either way it fucking sucks. Because if they see you, and it’s not what they signed up for, then they’re out of there. And if they never see you…it’s worse. Because you’re just alone.
