Welcome to Just Break Up, the podcast about love, heartbreak, and all the relationship advice you don't want to hear. My name is Sierra de Mulder. And I'm Sam Blackwell. And today we're going to answer a letter from somebody who thinks she's confused but is really just sad. But before we begin, we just want to give you our Surgeon General's warning, which is that Sierra and I are not licensed mental health practitioners.

No, we are not.

We are not professionals.

We are not trained in any of this.

So please take our advice as you see fit.

We're only here to offer our humble musings.

So hopefully shed some understanding and maybe some laughs about the incredibly rewarding,

but mostly confusing experience that is love.

But it's Monday.

So first we're going to do a quick check-in topic before we dive into today's letter.

Today's check-in topic is inspired by a letter from confused, why again, which is one word,

kind of like What a Burger, why again?

Uh-huh, cute.

Who's pronounced her, who is writing to us from despair. Oh, no. That's not good. And I'm laughing only because the second topic is, is just, it's, I'm a queer woman who keeps falling for straight girls. What a classic mistake, honestly. I'm so over myself for keeping on doing this. She writes, I'm currently getting, quote, obsessed with one of my friends

who is strange. classic mistake honestly i'm so over myself for keeping on doing this uh she writes i'm currently getting

quote obsessed with one of my friends who is straight we met a few months ago so i feel like we are still

getting to know each other um but see each other a couple times a week and sit and chat for over an hour

each time we've been to each other's house which is weird in a big city, and she's just a

person who makes me feel calm. What do I do? Would love a 101 for this kind of situation. I don't

think it's even worth telling her, but enjoy being infatuated because it helps me fall asleep by

thinking about things we could do slash be. Thank so much. Yeah. That's cute that you fall asleep thinking about what you can do and be

you're softy um i mean here's the thing is that the heart wants what the heart wants you know
