 Don’t want zaps. ⚡️ 

10 years ago: NEVER under any circumstances go to Chicago again.  
 Why? 
 Always get lost there.  
 It’s true I always get lost there 🤣🤣🤣

But there’s a better reason: I met someone there & as cliche as it sounds: never really got over him. He’s amazing & deserves everything in the world. 🌎 

He and I immediately got along. Truth is I liked him before we met based off his writing & thought processes. ( met on Reddit ) 

Anyway, we met & had a decent night ( after I got lost 🤣 ) & went on our way. Then became text friends. Talked about many things & never felt any judgement from him. Lied to him when he gave me opportunity to tell him I cared ( loved him ) & then the slow fade 

Then he ghosted me. Around the same time I told him another made me happy. 😊 

Anyway, point is: I don’t like going to places that hold bad memories. Going back to Chicago would always remind me of him. My heart break 💔 that will never heal. 

Only one who ever hit me like that. Ever.
