20-something female atheist from the South with a penchant for Texas hold 'em, musical theater and horror movies. I wish I lived on a boat. I like to use things other people have created to express my individualism. Hi, I'm Sarah. Personal.

Why I Need to Stop Thinking About You

1. I’m pretty sure you don’t give a shit about me. Not in a callous, uncaring way. In the way that you don’t give a shit about a person you pass in the hall. I only exist in the periphery of your world. I can’t imagine you spend a fraction of the time thinking about me that I spend thinking about you.

2. I’ve idealized you beyond reason. The version of you that exists in my head is not  even accurate, let alone realistic. It’s unfair to you. I can’t expect you to be anything more than human. I know better than this.

3. It is never going to happen. I repeat: never. Barring a literal deus ex machina, this is entirely hopeless.
