So what happens when you fall in love with the idea of someone?
It feels like you’re in love, but it eventually fades. He or she becomes a memory, sometimes, a lesson. But it doesn’t mean it hurts any less. In fact, it may hurt more.
The idea you constructed in your mind is fabricated. It isn’t real. It is a person your imagination created.
You try to rationalize it the best you can, but you can’t. You can’t blame him because he wasn’t who you thought he was and he was never that person in the first place.
After a while, we notice the flaws. We notice the red flags and realize it wasn’t love. It was infatuation, which can be just as confusing.
The crazy part about all of this is we really don’t know what love is. Love just is. We’re still learning. After all the years we’ve been on this planet, the one thing that’s kept the world thriving is still a mystery.
It is the best mystery that may never be solved.
