GETTING ATTACHED 101 - by Peace's Thoughts

One conversation becomes ten.Ten becomes everyday.Everyday becomes a habit.And somehow, their absence starts feeling louder than their presence ever did. You meet someone, you start enjoying their presence, they become a part of your routine, you start looking forward to them, their behaviour starts affecting your mood, and then the realization dawns on you that you've gotten attached. I've long realized that I get attached to people easily, but this one still crept up on me without me knowing. We would stay outside under the beautiful sky and talk till dawn. Please do not judge me. 😔 In my defense, he knew things about me so easily. He made me laugh endlessly; he could make the littlest things funny. He talks smart, and whenever he's around, I don't zone out or use my phone. We don't run out of things to talk about. There was always something.I found him “interesting.”He was weird, and I liked it.I reminisced over our moments together and looked forward to the next. Until things became different.Gbam! I know 😭😂Now, the conversations are shorter. The texts feel different. He wouldn't text if I didn't, which wasn't the case before. Yes, we're not in the same space anymore, but does that mean we can't be who we used to be when we were in the same space?Why would you just disappear on me like that and act like nothing ever happened? Or was I the one reading meanings into everything that happened? 🥲How did I even get myself into this? 🥲 Maybe that's the problem with getting attached. You don't always realize it's happening until the person starts pulling away and you suddenly notice how much space they've been occupying in your life. I don't know if I was reading too much into things. Maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't. Maybe some things are just meant to be enjoyed while they last, and not every connection is meant to become something permanent. I just wish I knew when I was getting attached. Maybe I would've taken a step back. Maybe I wouldn't have let myself get so comfortable. But then again, I probably would've done it anyway. 😂 So here I am, learning my lesson the slightly harder way.
