My heart takes these flights of fancy. I’m sure we’ve all experienced that. Y’all know the feeling, where we get our hopes up. Allow ourselves to develop feelings for someone.
Only to find out those feelings are unrequited. It’s human to desire relationships, and inevitably it hurts to be ignored. I’ll be the first to admit sometimes you have to ignore others. To avoid saying something hurtful or something said out of anger and frustration.
A Jedi craves not these things.
I reference super hero shows quite a bit in my writing. One of my favorites is Arrow, and the protagonist Oliver Queen says guys like us, we don’t get the girl. Later on he’s proven wrong. But I will say….
Being a man of morals and principles? Better that than to simply settle for the easy choice or possibility of a partner. In my mind if it’s easy? It’s probably not right. Better to take time than to rush into things that’ll hurt you in the long run.
For now I sit in my fortress of solitude like Kara Zor-El. Unsure and trying to figure out how to be myself to the best of my ability.
