I've been going through a tough time the past few months and started writing on here frequently. I feel a little guilty even for taking up so much space on this site with my thoughts, but it has really helped me. I've never had such a mess in my head and I'm glad I could come here instead of bothering my friends with my constant stream of thoughts.
I also really appreciate all the supportive people who comment on here. I also appreciate people who have said that things I wrote resonated with them. It makes me feel not so lost or unique in my struggle, and it makes me feel like a good writer lol. I never wrote any poems before because I never had anything to say, but I like that some people like them.
I've been writing mostly about a situation of unrequited love which I'm trying to get over. Honestly the validation of people saying my dumb lovesick poems are good makes a part of me want to keep being lovesick. Some people seem to interpret the things I have written as romantic, but I feel like infatuation is not really that romantic. There's nothing romantic about being obsessed with someone who doesn't give you a second thought. It's just a foolish thing our brains do because it's how we're wired.
People often advised me to try again with the girl I wrote about, to tell her how I really feel, or to ask her out a second time or whatever. But in reality, falling in love with someone is no excuse to disregard their boundaries. I see lots of people write on here about this perfect person that they love so much. I know the feeling, but all this writing is very cliche because almost everyone experiences this type of infatuation, and it's something that clouds your reason. Hope for a real love that is reciprocated, grows over time, and lasts long.
I might be back to write more, or I might be done, but I wanna say I'm really grateful to this site and all the thoughtful people on it. I hope to keep commenting and offering support because it's gratifying and a nice distraction.

ReplyAwesome post. I really appreciate what you wrote about the other person's boundaries. You come across as clear-headed and mature, which just goes to show that hopeless infatuation can strike any of us!
