I worked part-time at a clothing store inside a mall during college. A girl from another store used to pass by every evening and smile. After weeks of awkward eye contact, I finally found her on Instagram through the mall location tag.
We started talking and eventually dating. The relationship lasted only five months because we were completely incompatible. We fought over everything, from friends to career plans, and the breakup was ugly.
But through her, I met one of her college friends who later became part of my larger friend circle. Two years after that breakup, that friend and I unexpectedly fell in love. Life is strange. Sometimes the wrong relationship still leads you to the right person.
