Ha! You weren't kidding you mentioned having the brain space to make the pieces more entertaining.

Love the ideas and seeing this side of your writing :)

“And I’ll admit, I do find myself occasionally doing a little ‘research’ online, looking to see who's into him and wondering if they really get him like I did. Maybe I’ll even booty call him one day when I’m feeling lost again” 🤣 love this essay so much, really enjoyed reading it! Man, you’re on a roll this year with these essays, off to an amazing start of the year! 👏 😄

Thank you Esther! I'm glad you're liking this one because it was very fun to write as well. Hoping to do more of 'these' ;)

I really love that perspective Rik. Can't say I'm done with my Marcus, but eventually I'm aware I might have to let him go.

Haha, I don't want to say 'you can have him' just yet but that's because I'm jealous. Maybe I'm not fully 'over' him then ;) I guess we all need us some Marcus every now and again, but for the right situations (and reasons) :)
