Just a Random Post

Okay, so here’s the thing - today was a holiday and for lack of anything better that I want to do, I decided to clean up my Google drive and get rid of files that I prolly should have gotten rid of a long time ago.

During my news correspondent days, I took a lot of pictures of documents to back up the articles I wrote. This meant taking a picture of every page of a document even if it ran up to more than a hundred pages long. LOL. If there was one thing I was good at, it was to never take chances when it came to the articles I wrote.

Anyhoo, what I didn’t expect was to realize that I took a lot of screenshots of the conversations I had with my ex. Seeing them now, it really makes me wonder how things could go so wrong in a year’s time. For something that started out really good, it’s crazy how a lot could happen in a little more than 365 days and how different things could be.

So since I’m already here, might as well write a post about this.

First off, I met my ex through Tinder and our first date was at a coffee shop in BGC. I just submitted my resignation from my previous job at that time and felt really shitty about it.

I didn’t want to go home yet because it was depressing to think about not having a job anymore. At that time, my ex was messaging me and he was like, “Are you really that busy to reply?”

At first I was annoyed but eventually, I figured a date couldn’t hurt. I just handed my resignation so it couldn’t get worse than that.

One thing I noticed right away during our date was that while we were at a coffee shop, he didn’t order coffee. He got tea and I was like, damn, do I have to pretend I like healthy shit now to impress him. LOL.

Anyhoo, long story short, we got off really well and the rest was history. Right now, I’m not even saying that in a figurative way.

To clarify things, he started out as “John 🍟” on my phone because that’s what he called himself on Tinder and I added the fries to remind me that he was a Tinder guy. LOL.

Eventually, he became “Ascott Guy 🖤” because he was staying at Ascott at that time and I added the black heart because I’m emo. LOL JK.

After everything that happened (and realizing that my name is just my actual name on his phone without anything anyway😏), he also just became “Bijan” in my phonebook - very factual and no fuss.

Lesson learned: LDR is hard. I prolly should stay far far away from it.
