Addicted to Dreaming
I feel sick. Is this love? Or is this obsession?
Oftentimes, whenever I look forward to something or anticipate something a great deal, I get a sick, empty feeling in my stomach. Sometimes my throat closes. I become sad or frustrated or apathetic when this desire is not fulfilled.

Is this love? You hear about people who say "my heart hurts when you are not around." My heart hurts. Is this love for someone or something, a platonic lustful yearning?

Is this obsession? I once felt sick in my gut about something I no longer love as much. But when it comes to people it scares me. I cling to them.

Maybe it's fear. Maybe it's a hunger for nostalgia and the past, a time when we were once friends but drifted apart.



I shouldn't cling, but I want it so badly. I hurt and I ache and I remain silent and hope that things will turn out okay, and they won't. I will hurt and ache even more knowing what we have lost, what I have lost, even though it may be nothing at all.

Do I love you? Or am I obsessed with you?

It hurts.

You're feeling sick, but for a good cause.
You want to get back with your friend, and you want it so badly that it hurts you to think about it. I get those same nudges all the time, it's no big deal, just so long as you make your best effort to patch things up with your friend in order to make both you and your stomach happier.

I know how you feel. More than half of my relationships failed along the lines of "Your hot, but you're too clingy". I guess they think its unreasonable to want to spend time with the person your in a romantic relationship with. Even in friendship i seem to push people away.I've recently lost a friend in real life. She use to be one of my closest friends, but all of a sudden, she started drifting away from me, and even some of her lifelong friends. Now she hangs out with another group of people and won't give us the time of day.

Its depressing how people can change isn't it? For instance, After starting high school, I've had the opportunity to be reaquainted with some people I had been friends with in my kindergarten class. Most of them turned into people I don't want to associate with anymore, to put it lightly. Sometimes, I wish people didn't lose that innocence when they're young, the ability to accept, unwaveringly, anyone you meet. As long as the other child shares the same desire to play, smaller children welcome anyone, regardless of class, color, race, or preference. But we must accept the world as it is. Draw strength from yourself and those who truly love you and I am sure you'll be ok.
