You should call me sometime. I miss you.

The somebody/somebody issue is plaguing me. Right now, all I want is somebody, but I want to want a somebody (intentionally unitalicized). Like, I know I want someone in my life right now, but it's not because there's a particular someone to want. But if someone came along, I wouldn't want to want them just because they were somebody--I'd want to want them for who they are, not because I'm in such a general state of wanting that I'll take what I can get.

(Let's not complicate this by remembering how the last time I wanted somebody and decided to settle for somebody, I fell in love.)

My advice? Don't think about the pop songs. Think about what you actually feel, and remember that sometimes, you really can be happy even when you think about it--or perhaps that sometimes, it's okay not to think about the end if the not thinking is what allows for the beginning.

I think that 75% of this is about you, and 75% of this is about me, and I don't know where the parts overlap.

Me too. I feel like even if I really do like somebody, though, I'm aware of the fact that I want somebody so I'll trick myself into thinking that I don't actually like them. Alternately, if I really don't like somebody all that much except as a somebody, but am aware of that first part, then I'll trick myself into thinking that I really do like them and am just over-thinking it. But then once that I'm convinced I like them I start to convince myself that I really don't and... yeah.

I know what you mean, too. I don't want to 'take what I can get' because that definitely isn't fair to someone else. At the same time, I don't know if there is any way to be sure of your feelings ever, let alone without taking the time to get to know somebody, and people usually decide whether or not they want to be each other's somebodies a lot sooner than I am able to. Which is not what I meant to say, what I meant to say is sometimes somebody can turn out to be the right somebody, but... only if they're already the right somebody, and all that's left to

This entire post just made my fucking day. Especially the Buddhist joke. And Chuck Norris. Duh. So, go you.

And I can relate to the problem of never knowing if, as you cleverly put it, you actually want someone or just want someone. I'm kind of having that issue myself. And being so inexperienced and young as I am, it's difficult to tell how I really feel. I don't really know what LOVE feels like. I find myself hoping that it is love and that I'm not just cheating myself into feeling something for someone I don't really care for at all. Why does it have to be so bloody confusing?!

I'm not going to confess here how long I actually spent looking through one-liners and themed jokes to find good ones, but... well, I'm glad that it served a purpose in making your day. Haha.

I know what you mean. I feel like I started thinking about love- LOVE love, like, love and forever and meaning and all that- a long time before it was ever really something I could have. And every time I feel something a tiny part of me is like is it love? Is it LOVE? What does it mean? And then it goes off on a rant, which makes me completely absorb myself in dissecting the feeling, instead of paying any attention to the person who the feeling is supposed to be about

I wonder if we're meant to analyze emotions this much-- does it kind of ruin what you're feeling if you think about it too much? Seems a little bit like that to me. And I know what you mean about in-between steps-- like love (or LOVE, even) should be gradual and not as quick as most people try to make it.

Ha ha, I know. But I encourage your essays! They make me think.

I wonder if analyzing if we're meant to analyze emotions this much would just make the problem worse ;)

I know what you mean though. It definitely is the fastest way to ruin a good feeling.
