Someone once asked...

“theres this guy i like in my friendgroup that ive known for a short time but we became close insanely fast like we completely went passed the awkward stage of a friendship that now people think we've known each other for years. im just scared that if something does develop between us and doesnt work out then itll hurt the friendgroup. there is already this one couple in our friendgroup but theyve been dating for i think a year now and they seem fine just what happens if they break up yk i just i dont know i need advice”

Don't run from something possibly great because it "might not work out." Everything ever might not work out, but that is where the value of decisions come from. If something develops, let it, and if it doesn't work, let it not. You can't stop life from impacting your life, that isn't how life works. Life will sometimes mean finding love and losing friends at the same time, or losing love and gaining friends. Don't be so afraid of life changing that you miss it entirely. You got this, and I truly genuinely do believe in you. I can't promise much, but I promise, and I mean that, that something beautiful is going to happen. Maybe not with this guy, maybe not with this friend group, but something beautiful is going to happen. Don't miss out on that to be afraid instead.
