I’ve been trying to figure out whether or not I have feelings for my best friend for the past 4 years. I’ve never met anyone with whom I share a connection and bond with than him. There was a time when it could have worked, but now we are going to schools on opposite ends of the country. Over the past year, I’ve realized that I do love him, and I’m pretty sure he has feelings for me, too. But because of experiences in my past and recent discoveries about my character and mental health, I can’t bring myself to say anything to him. I’m afraid that if I never say anything, I will never be able to let him go and move on with my life or give other people a chance to enter into my life.
