I was flirting.
Me. Flirting.
It feels so good to flirt. No one ever talks about that.
But in that moment, I felt like flirting was the very thing that made the world go around.
The excitement of wondering what the other person will say next.
The thrill of knowing someone is looking at you, liking what they see.
The rush of looking at someone and liking what you see in them.
Flirting is probably just as much about falling in love with yourself as it is with someone else.
It’s about seeing yourself through someone’s eyes and realizing there is plenty to like about yourself, plenty of reasons someone might hang on your every word.
