LOVE. Argh. One of the most over rated topics ever. But as I’ve gone a little crazy these past few nights spending some quality time with a past I’m rather embarrassed about, allow me to bore you with the gory details of my love life – or the lack thereof, overrated as it may be to talk about.
At the young innocent naive know-it-all age of 12, I have fallen in love, or so I thought, to a guy who wouldn’t even give me a time of day – unless we meet along the school corridors, or we get to ride in the same car, which happens almost everyday as we are in the same carpool. OK. I’M KILLING MYSELF HERE BY ADMITTING ALL THESE CRAZINESS! So yeah, basically, I feil in infatuation . EEW. How high school is that?!
9 years later, I look back and just laugh the fuck off that stage of unrequited teenage love. HAH! HAD I KNOWN HOW AWFUL IT WOULD BE TO REMEMBER IT ALL NOW, I’D HAVE AVOIDED ALL EMBARRASSMENT FROM THE START! Right now, I spend more than enough time as it is in the company of said object of affliction affection of my whole high school existence. I balk at the idea of ever having to talk to him about all of this – not now that we are such good friends already and can express our love to each other freely! Just the other day he told me loves me, and I slapped him after that, because I was laughing so hard. MY GOD. HOW I’D HAVE LOVED TO HEAR THAT BACK THEN, I thought.
But the whole history is still pretty disgusting. I was talking to a common friend of ours about that and we went up in uncontrollable fits of laughter. Don’t get me wrong. I love C, just not the kind of love I used to think I had for him. EEW. That would almost be like incest (no pun intended) because he now feels like a brother to me or something.
EEW. WHY AM I EVEN TALKING ABOUT THIS?!?!
So to end this post on an even more awful note, I’d like to say that based on experience, “first love never dies” is definitely true. But while it does wear of to a level of platonic-ity, for me, there would always be that tingling feeling of awareness knowing that at some point in my life, I had admired that person to death. BOW.
