The number two has been a very significant number in my life. 
It is definatly not my favorite number, but it's a number that I, and many other people I'm sure, love and hate at the same time.

 

 

 

Two represents closeness: a couple of lovers.
It's a intimacy that can only be shared with one. Simply being in your presence sends my heart soar, and just thinking about you makes me smile.

 

Two represents relatability: a couple of friends.
It's a bond, a pact, a covinent between souls. I tell you my secrets. We share experiences. You make me feel alive and happy.

 

Two represents being counterpart: a pair of shoes.
It's identity and purpose of existance. Without you I am of no use. Without you I will never be complete. I need you, and you need me.
 


Two represents more: double scoops of ice cream.
It's simple addition. I recieve twice the amount. Twice as much time to spend with you. Twice as much things to indulge in. Or, twice as much pain to feel.

 

Two represents unfairness: double standards.
It's not okay, but then again, it is. She can do it, and everyone thinks it's incredible. I can do it, and it's unoriginal. He can do it, and it's completely fine. I can do it, and everyone says I'm going to hell.

 

Two represents time: two years.
It's relative. I have matured more in the past two years than the people I grew up with. We are the

Chapter 2: I can so relate to this. Sometimes, I don't want to think about it but there are times when I suddenly recall everything and I just feel so sad. I can say that our clique is quite popular in school but then no one can even remember my name. Some remember but then, they only know me because I'm friends with those friends. I never wanted to be popular, I never liked attention anyways. But I gotta admit that it hurts so much that it's so hard for people to remember my name even though we've been in the same school, shared class for 5 years. If there were 3 of us walking, I'll be the one walking behind. Sounds like a movie? Yeah, but it's the reality. I don't really care about the ones who weren't so close to me while I was in high school. But the people who always reminded me "Don't change your phone no!", "Text me everyday!", "I don't care if we're already in college, everyone must stay in touch." Funny how it was them who stopped replying, and when I wanted to tell them stories, they're like "Oh...", "Oh ok haha", "Um hey I'm busy ttyl." . And it surprised me that they changed their phone number without telling me. I knew from someone else. How embarrassing especially when other people said, "Oh stop joking, you're close to her, you should know she's changed her number.", "Oh, he didn't tell you? I thought you're close."

But now, I've learned to let go. I've learned to not think about it too much. I've learned to try to forgive them. I believe they have reasons. And I don't think I deserve to force them to like me. Lol, sorry... I tend to leave out longggg comments when I feel like I can relate or I just simply like certain stories.

Chapter 3: Isn't it just funny how people can have the exact same dilemmas even if they're from different parts of the world.

These feelings you have are so similar to mine and so many other people. And if it's anything similar then words of consolation from other people hardly make too much difference. But it helps, even just a little bit. So, let me just say, stay strong, like how you always are. Things will get better.

Chapter 3: i should call Noona right now, i'm sure she could relate~~~ you don't need to get jealous noona, just because you're not as popular as them or you're not getting much attention as your friends doesn't mean you are less loved. what makes me happy about reading this you're not trying to fit in or trying hard just to be like them. i'll borrow this from bruno m, 'you're amazing just the way you are'. i honestly don't know how it feels to be popular or less known coz i wasn't paying attention to everyone, just my friends and my grades :| Noona might give the comment you might like XDDD i'm not good at this~~~ this is not like a fic at all cos i think most girls could relate~~~ you're a great writer NOONA, PROPS!!!
