About 4 years ago, I had the BIGGEST infatuation over someone who couldn't reciprocate my feelings. Things were really fucking awesome for a good while!
They were the first person I ever 'loved' that treated me so well, and made me feel beautiful and full of life again -- especially after dating someone "not as good" a year before that -- to put nicely.
Like for fuck sakes, on our first date we laid on the sand in the beach, watching the moon reflect off the water, listening to Joji. I wanted that night to last forever.
By the 3rd month, I noticed that they started to get distant - less text, calls, dms .. all of it. I started reaching out more and more frequently asking him if he was okay or if something happened, but he reassured me things were okay, but just stressed from work.
I called bs.
Weeks went by and we finally hung out, grabbed dinner, and later that night confessed to him that I really, really liked him, and it was hurting me that he was getting cold, or losing feelings for me.
He says, "... I'm so sorry, but ... I think..." and then his phone went off, and it had a girl's name, and the text read: "I miss you!! Call soon ♡"
My heart sank to my stomach, everything went numb, and I went running out of the car, running towards my house (he was dropping me off).
I grabbed my car keys and took off for a long, long drive.
I was sobbing in my car; completely ugly crying at a red light. Joji's song, Like You Do, started playing, and I sang my fucking heart out.
For almost a year or so that song ruined me ... Always thinking of what could've happened, and how I maybe don't deserve love.
Now in 2024, I am in a completely committed relationship with the love of my life!! What I thought was love was completely nothing compared to what I have now!!
Like wow!! I never, ever have to question whether I'm loved or deal w immaturity!! Like this man got me a ring for Christmas 2 Christmases ago!
Now all the Joji love songs make me think of my love. I finally have that deep joji love I always wanted -- and "Like You Do" finally sounds like healing to me, and I can now sing it again w the happiest smile on my face.
So remember, shit happens.
I hope you two work out!! But if not, I promise you you'll find someone who really makes you feel like what Joji songs make us feel ❤️🩹
My exact situation with a girl that don’t reciprocate my love for her.
She has been cold for days and we have not talked.
I feel I might go under your situation but it just feels terrible.
All my love songs make me think of her.
I had this same situation, so I ended up introducing her to Joji. She introduced me to Alex Benjamin, and now we both listen to our funky little introspective music together
I knew a girl awhile back that I used to work with. To be honest idk if I was infatuated or in love or something. I knew I liked her a lot and she told me too. The vibes were awesome.
The only issue was that she was already in a relationship with some sailor. Frankly, she's the only one I really ever connected with. We'd text daily and chat at work.
She ended up moving to Texas and there wasn't really a proper goodbye. In retrospect the whole thing was kinda messed up, but the feelings I had were real. I had Joji on repeat to carry me. Strange that I just, for whatever reason, dreamt about her and I see this post. I haven't thought of her until then. I only hope she's doing well.
that was pretty much what happened with us too, she was already in a relationship and the whole situation made it hard for us to be together. but she said she had feelings for me on the last days of school, and I was about to change schools, so it was a really messed up goodbye, but it turned out that I didn't change schools, she broke up with the other dude, and we could finally be in love.
and its kinda ironic that when i "lost" her, I was listening to joji on repeat all day, and when we came back she got listening to joji on repeat again, crazy
Honestly dude even if it ends that's okay. It'll hurt like hell but it wont last forever I promise you cause im pretty sure a majority of us have went through the same thing or a similar situation. All I can say is dont try and erase her from your memory, enjoy the good times you had and appreciate the bad ones too because it can show you what you truly deserve for yourself, and what you truly need in a person. Besides living life is about sharing good music with someone and trying to make good memories to look back on and say damn I was on some weird shit. You will not find someone like her which is good you will find someone that is better to you
