chikanIt's disgusting how much you can like a person you've never spoken to. Sometimes you can look at someone and make up these intricate details about them, about their personality, about their behavior. All without not knowing anything but their name. It's really sick what your imagination can do when you let it run wild.
At that point it turns into obsession. If you can't go a couple minutes without thinking of a certain person it's called love, but if you have trouble thinking of anything else then you have a problem. There's a fine line between love and obsession and the only way to be sure of where you stand is to not be afraid to accept the possibility that you could very well be on either side of the fence.
As scary as it is to think about, you know you have a dark side in you—everyone does. If you can love someone to the point where it provokes that darkness inside you, there's no way you'll ever be able to let go. People say they fear commitment, but what they're really afraid of is what happens when being let go. They think that if you don't give yourself to that one special person then you can't be hurt. It's all a lie.
In fact, it's infinitely more painful to watch someone you're completely unattached to be happy with someone they're with while not knowing what it must feel like to have that level of happiness.
