‘…I’m always given cause to think about the Cool Partner (or friend) and how it basically all just boils down to having no expectations for the person in your life while making yourself perfect for them BUT not letting them ever feel inconvenienced by the labor that involves’

You should put yourself in debt and misery to facilitate their half baked dreams because you’re just chill like that.

Which is all to say that this is an object lesson in why being the Cool Partner is a mistake for anyone.
