I had a crush on a girl for awhile. Then when I got busy with school, those feelings went away pretty quickly, and it doesn't bother me at all just being friends with her.
I used to always pathologize that, and look for the reasons in myself or someone else as to why my feelings were so inconsistent. I guess I'm the type of person who needs to focus on what's right in front of me. That could be coming from a place of trauma, but it could also just be a personality trait. And in these circumstances, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
I feel like I spent so much time trying to fix something that can't change, that I missed out on the things I truly could work on. I wish I had realized it sooner and spared a lot of trouble.
At least I know now that a long distance relationship will never work out well for me, heh.
