i have this good friend of mine, and for complicated reasons we have had lots of distance to deal with the past couple of years… it's not something either of us want, but complicated life circumstances have led to this distance…
we both value eachother a lot… and the last time we spoke a few months ago, i said some things to her that i hope weren't misinterpreted as me wanting a serious romantic relationship with her…
i said things like:
1 – "I always want to be real with you… please don't settle for anything less than what you deserve… life is too short for that and you deserve the best… If there's anyone that deserves an amazing life and secure future, free from the daily burdens of life, it's you."
2 – "What does your ideal dream life look like? Anything else cool going on lately? What ways do you want to grow as a person?"
3 – "Sincerely, I would like you to be a part of my future. I want to see you live a peaceful and amazing life, free from all these burdens. Until next time."
#1 was at the end of a detailed email i sent her, per her request, answering a few questions she asked me and giving her a life update and overview of the past year or so, what's new, and other personal things she asked… she has made some poor life choices lately, and has low self worth, and i just wanted to validate her worth with that sentence, because she deserves so much and often settles for so less.
And #2 and #3 were part of a text i sent a few months after that email, and like how she asked me questions a few months earlier, i was asking her questions that had been on my heart lately… like what she's been up to, and some more personal questions like her goals and dreams in life, etc.
I was just trying to talk personably with her… I personally feel like those quotes are all things I would say to a friend… I have a guy friend and I've said these kinds of things to him… what do you think?
tl;dr i meant to be friendly with her, but am worried it sounded romantic
