Limerence maybe. I have fallen victim to it

It’s really complex but also simple; when we’re small we grow up romanticizing film, music, and imagine ourselves in daydream situations with someone we never met. Once we’re older and we become victims of love (or lack there of) and it’s almost as if we set people in a default settings of what is ideal. It can be harder and more heartbreaking moving on from the unknown, especially when it was once full of potential.

Me too.. it’s best to acknowledge and accept before moving on from the uncertainty instead of letting it devour you

We all have love to give and share, and you shouldn’t feel ashamed for trying to make sense of it. It’s natural to give meaning for unreciprocated feelings. They have to go somewhere
