Hello there, Blue Powerblogger here! And I have a story!
There was once a girl named Bailey and a boy named Chance. Bailey didn't know Chance that well, but she'd seen him around, and he was the friend her friends Max and Joseph. One day, Bailey decided to ask Max to hang out with her. When she called him up, Max said he was with Joseph and Chance and suggested that they all go out to lunch together. After lunch, the four went to Bailey's house to just chill. The three boys even dedicated a special version of "You Had Me at Hello" to Bailey.
Well Chance had Bailey at hello. Bailey found herself having feelings for Chance, but he was so mysterious and strange to her. It seemed as though he held many dark pains and secrets to himself. Bailey was determined to be his friend. She said hi to him everyday, offered to go on bike rides with him, and drove him home occasionally. A friendship grew between them, and Chance started to reveal some of his secrets to Bailey. He felt worthless and unloved, he thought that no one cared about him. Bailey reassured Chance that this was not the case, and tried to bolster his spirits.
Chance seemed to be doing better. He even started flirting with Bailey, racing her home, chatting at school with her, and making silly faces at her during lunch. Bailey felt as if Chance was staring to enjoy life more, that maybe he had realized how important he was.
But Chance kept hiding behind his stupid wall, unable to leave his comfort zone. With each day, Bailey's heart rose and sank like the ocean's tides depending on her interactions with Chance. These interactions determined her happiness to the extent that not talking to him ruined the day and left her in a sour disposition. She began to let herself be controlled by her feelings towards him. But she liked him so much.
Then one day, Bailey met Tyler. Tyler was a musician with his own band and the most beautiful voice Bailey had ever heard (after Aaron Gillespie, of course). Though Bailey had only known Tyler for one day, she knew he would one day play a huge factor in her life. She began to kind of like him, as well.
So now Bailey was faced with an interesting conflict-should she like Chance, for whom she had harbored feelings for over three months? Or should she leave her frustrations with Chance behind and just opt for Tyler instead? What made matters worse was that all of Bailey's friends kept urging her to completely drop Chance. It wasn't that easy for her; she had written three songs about him and gotten to know him and felt as if it would be a waste to forget him after her three months of pursuit. But she also felt as if she had reached a dead end with Chance, so maybe Tyler was the best choice. Life is so confusing.
How can you follow your heart when it doesn't even know what it wants?

Well, it's not like you have to make and all or nothing decision. You can try to make "Chance" a smaller part of your life (so he doesn't control you as much) without giving up on him and start to get closer to "Tyler" without forgetting about "Chance". Then you'll have some new found perspective on "Chance" and maybe you'll decide you don't even like him that much. Put yourself first and find out who makes you happiest. But don't put too much power on them, you know? You're great and any guy who doesn't realize that is their loss. Too much effort can squash chances of a relationship in my opinion. Just have faith that if it's meant to be it'll be.
