No problem. I thought maybe that were the case. I guess part of my response was to differentiate my posts from that anon.

glad i didn't make you angry or something then. the tone was different, but i'm in a weird headspace today.

careful with unrequited love, though, anon. it can turn very bitter very easily. like when you're making caramel and you leave it on the heat for too long..

Understandable. This place changes depending on the mindset. Sorry you are going through it today, I hope it clears up. Sorry I added to that. 

I also feel what you are saying about the bitter. It already has but again, not so much at them as the situation. I realize it comes with expectations and assumptions. I just wish there were more clarity.

thanks, anon. and don't worry, you didn't add to it. ^-^

feelings are so messy. when it happened to me, i tried to deny the fact i was turning bitter for weeks. the person didn't really do anything wrong, so i wasn't bitter about THEM, right? it's such a sneaky, creeping change. like an illness or something. 
i hope everything turns out for you. maybe if you talk to this person they can help with making things more clear? the direct approach is sometimes refreshing once you tear the bandaid off.

Thanks, anon. For taking the time to clarify. And also the confirmation, well wishes, and advice :)

I try my best to take the direct approach in whatever way I can. You're right that it's the best way. Even if it can lead to feelings of apprehension. 

I hope things work out for you too. It seems like matters of the heart should be easier than what they are. And maybe they are but it's all the added stuff that adds to it.

then, i'll wish you luck. :3 and thanks! i'll try to be patient, and hopefully things change for me.

it would be nice if things were easier. maybe if i never wanted anything from anyone, i'd be okay nursing a little flame in my heart forever and maybe there'd even be room for more than one, and it wouldn't matter how many times those flames went out, because it wouldn't hurt. the way the world works and the way people are make being like that very difficult, at least.
