Update: I met the “30 seconds girlfriend” again

Thumbnail
A few days ago I posted here about how I accidentally pretended to be a stranger’s boyfriend in a café for about 30 seconds and nearly got into a fight over it. At the time it felt like one of those weird, one-off moments you just laugh about later and move on from.

I genuinely didn’t think I would ever see her again. I didn’t even know her name. But today, completely randomly, I ran into her again at a community centre. It took me a second to recognise her, but when I did, I think my brain just paused for a moment because I wasn’t expecting that at all.

We both sort of awkwardly acknowledged it at first, like “this is actually happening again”, and then ended up talking properly. It was a lot more normal this time. At some point I told her about the post I had written here and showed it to her. She looked slightly annoyed at first, probably because I had basically turned that moment into a story for the internet, but then she started smiling while reading through the comments.

We ended up talking for a while after that. Nothing dramatic, just a proper conversation this time without any chaos or confusion. Before leaving, I did manage to ask for her number, which honestly felt like a bigger step than the entire café situation.

The funny part is, after all of that, I still couldn’t bring myself to ask her out for an actual date. I don’t know why, I just didn’t. Maybe because the whole thing still feels a bit unreal or maybe I just didn’t want to mess it up again.

I did tell her she should start using Reddit and maybe join this sub. So if by any chance you are reading this… would you go on a date with me?

A Cinematic Masterpiece: 'Halkara' Deserves More Recognition

 So, the weekend is almost over and Sunday is always special to me. In a sense, I was always wandering, taking myself on a trip to the valley. This story is quite different and interesting. In the middle of my journey, I felt ready and motivated to write about it, so here it goes. This story is about a single movie that inspired me to write. I had no plans to watch a Nepali movie called 'Halkara,' which had recently been released. As I passed by midtown, I wasn't prepared to watch it, but I found myself at the ticket counter buying a ticket for myself. When I bought the ticket, there were only five people who had booked the show, and all the seats were empty. The show was scheduled to start at 12:30 pm, and I entered the hall. Finally, the movie started. I cannot describe how amazing the cinematography, storyline, characters, acting, and overall vibe of this movie were. I still can't believe that this movie didn't receive a good response from...

Fall in love with me.

 In every moment, through highs and lows, my love for you remains unwavering. No matter what life throws at us, I want you by my side . Let's face everything together, carry each other's burdens, and keep our love strong Whether times are good or bad, I selfishly want you by my side. I just want us to stay together in 2024, like we used to, filled with love and adventures. We know the timing wasn't great, so let's be patient and wait for things to get better. Our connection, first kiss, and love experiences are special. I've never been as comfortable with anyone else as I am with you. Everything we do together feels new and exciting. We both know finding something like us is rare. I don't know how many times you've ignored my messages, but at least I am an older than you. I feel a responsibility to make you happy or correct some of your immature thoughts. Sometimes, being older is a good option. All I'm going to say is I love you and I will. Ignore me, b...

To the person who read this

To the person who read this, It’s been hard for you, I know, and it makes me sad that you don’t see yourself in the way I see you. Sometimes they are things in life that cause us to loose ourselves, and the way you have is so unimaginable painful. I miss your smile, the way your eyes light up the whole room just by the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you accepted the way you look in the mirror without cursing yourself out about how ugly you look. I miss the way you didn’t think of yourself as a failure because everyone makes mistakes, we all have flaws and we all aren’t perfect. It’s painful to see that no one around you seems to see the pain trough your eyes, but, stranger, I do, I see how heavy your heart is and how comforting the sadness for you might be, how afraid your heart is of happiness because it disappears in the end, right? You don’t know how much impact you have in this world and it’s sad to see that your demons fight against you and want to take over you. Because y...
