My head, that is. Putting it squarely back on my shoulders, straight as can be.
Drama. So I made out with a friend. Big fucking deal. What messed with me is so in my own head and of my own making it is disgusting.
The problem is I tend to over think (ha…hence this little place on the internet) and make things a bigger deal that they are.
What I discovered yesterday as I was writing it all down was that regardless of what he may or may not want from me, I am not willing to get involved. Because the simple truth is he is in love with someone else – and while he won’t believe it, I KNOW she is coming back. And I am not going to set myself up to the the placeholder.
He is taking a huge step back and I cannot blame him. I should have seen it yesterday when our all day plan turned into a quick lunch. And then he bolted.
But yesterday gave me perspective. I choose to let this all go. Could it be amazing? Maybe. Could it be disastrous? Hell, yes. And I am not sure my business can withstand me losing my head over some stupid guy.
It was an expensive weekend, seeing as I had just opted to be done with eH@rm*ny, but needing the distraction I renewed to the tune of $170 that I do not really have right now. But sanity is priceless, right?
I,too, am taking a step back, I had hoped he would join me for a fun event on July 4, but now I am not even going to mention it. I would rather go alone than be turned down….or risk looking needy or like I want more than he is willing to give. Basically, I am back to making sure I do not look like an asshole – which in not a good place for me to be with a guy since it means I am very careful with my choice of words and actions – and to date I have never had to do this with him.
The thing that has attracted me has been the open communication. But I am stuck for how to continue – at least right now – without changing the interaction. He needs to know “more” is not in the back of my head. And I KNOW I should just tell him this, but it seems so harsh right now. I crave and I fear defining any of this.
(wrote this earlier this week or over the weekend…but it will make the next post make more sense, I think)
