Ima try to keep it short. I joined an internship program last August that ends in June. Part of the program is having 4 interns stay in a house funded by the program and we are designated to various non profits.

I became very close with a girl in this program. We connected pretty quickly, especially since we were the two who seemed to really put forth an effort for the group activities and such.

I had moved to a new city, and she was the first person here who I felt truly comfortable with. Easily the closest person I had in the area.

Well...she is a soccer player. Played in college and was trying to continue to play professionally. She broke the news to me a few weeks ago that her agent was working on a contract for her to play in Finland. A week or so later, the contract was a done deal and she literally left within the week.

I'm happy for her. I know this is her dream, and I fully support her, but I didn't think it would happen so fast and so far away. I have 3 months left of this program with her empty room across from mine being reminded of her.

I told her how I felt about her before she left. I didn't get mushy with it. Just said how much I have enjoyed spending time with her and I hope we can keep in touch. She agreed, and said she plans to come back in the future and wants to see me again. I also left her a note saying shes always welcome to hmu about anything and I'm always happy to hear from her.

Despite the kind words and good talks before she left, I don't expect anything. The future is definitely uncertain, and who knows what could happen. It's been really tough. I've felt really depressed and it almost feels like I'm grieving over a death. I know she's obviously alive, but it's the death of an everyday close connection we shared in this house and this program.

It also doesn't help that im still not certain what ill do after this program ends or where Ill be. I'm a fresh college graduate trying to find my first real job. And the uncertainty of that mixed with missing her feels like a lot at times.

Ima keep soldiering on. We will always be friends, but damn man...this has been tough.

Oh nigga I thought somebody was dead -- move to Relationships

sounds like you shoulda got mushy with her OP tbh.

if you cared enough to make a thread on ktt you certainly cared enough to dump you're heart out to her in attempts of continuing the relationship with certainty.

best of luck though with the constant wondering though.

Its 2023 we’re more connected than ever

bruh...it aint the same

You had 10 months to lock it in with her living right across from you. Hate to break it to you, but you fumbled this one

Bruh think she gone forever

@Lock_Summons I guess you got future trip plans

you dont know s*** about my situation lol, I told you i was gonna keep in short

She probably not gonna make it. Few months and she'll be back. Don't sweat it.

Why're people minimising OP's experience? He says clearly at the end that life is uncertain but there's opportunities to reconnect. Just the distance is very real now

No we're not

You actually read that thing

Remember the classic saying, no one worth knowing is ever really gone.

Member since 2023

You can literally video call anyone in the world instantly.

Not to mention hop on a flight and be there in less than 10 hours.

The world is certainly more connected than ever.

My attention span is very, very good tbh

Ayo, I'm responding to what you shared and keeping it real with you. If you didn't lock her in before the distance was created, she'll always just wonder why you waited until now and not the 10 months you had together.

Good luck homie, i ain't ya enemy

That's not the connection OP wants he wants to F***

Alright OP, cool and all but Ima try to keep it short. I joined an internship program last August that ends in June. Part of the program is having 4 interns stay in a house funded by the program and we are designated to various non profits.

Thoughts & prayers, OP

I'm sure she's smiling at you from above. Make her proud

???

Im not gonna argue with you over details. I know what we had.

Not so much matter of the attention, but the topic

I started and was like man this s*** wack!
