unrequited love (take 942)

Dear Internauts,

 If you’re like me and fall in love with everyone instantly, a great way to deal with the pain associated with such feelings is turning your problem into your craft time or baking time or movie time or coloring time or hit the books time or pop a wheelie time or run for office time or find your real father time or fly a kite time or skip some rocks time or overthrow the establishment time or learn some new dance moves time or spaghetti time or write a poem about it time or remember that unrequited love isn’t about what someone has done to you but about the great capacity you have to notice loveliness in the world and there’s so much more beauty and wonder and hope and friendship and love and life left to live far beyond a rush of endorphins or when they laughed at your jokes and you really felt hilarious and special for once but that wasn’t them making you special but a bit of your special showing through the cloud that makes us think we need constant reciprocation of everything we feel to make it real and an endless loop about how great we are when really what we love in others and makes our heart go WOW is probably just we’re hungry or tired or lonely or maybe everything and everyone is lovely and sexy and beautiful and it’s not their job to tell you that or make you feel that way cause it’s your job to find out who you wanna be in this beautiful and lovely and sexy and totally crush-worthy of a heartbreaking world and chase after those dreams instead of someone with their own life to live and then when you least expect it the hole inside you is no longer a defect but a part of your story and it is your problem and your life and your story time...

(Every minute you waste on hating yourself is just another wasted minute.)
