The boy who told you he'd text you when he was leaving that morning but never did? He sucks. The girl that told you she loved you but then dumped you to get back together with her ex? Yes, she sucks. But after all is said and done, not everyone sucks. We all eventually get…
The trouble with people who are over-eager is that we are often over-everything. We are over-thinkers, we are over-dramatic, we over-romanticize, we are overwhelmed.
