i’ve got this, i’m truly fine.

I was thinking why do we miss people. I think it’s like with drugs. People don’t miss drugs,alcohol or cigarettes. You won’t hear someone say, ’ Man,I really miss heroin and wine.’ You will hear people talk about how it made them feel,and that’s what they miss. It’s the same way with people I think. You don’t always miss the person,sometimes you just miss the way they made you feel: the way they touched you,the way they looked at you,the way they laughed. People miss feeling feelings. We all concentrated on work and our routines. We forget how to feel. And when we finally get to feel something we get confused and scared. The only mistake we make is we fall in love with a body or with a face,or the idea of being loved. Everyone says love hurts. But that’s simply not true. Loneliness hurts,rejection hurts,losing someone hurts- everyone get these things confused with love. The reality is love is the only thing that covers up all the pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. You know?? And when we finally loved by someone it feels so weird because we don’t even like ourselves sometimes. But trust me you are the luckiest person in the world is someone loves you as much as you love them.
