It happens every time I have high levels of prolonged anxiety in my life; I am fixating on someone I could never have, and moreover, who even passively rejected me by dropping off the face of the earth about a year ago. Unfortunately for me, this person suddenly re-appeared by accident and now I am thinking obsessively about all the fruit I can't have from a tree that I can't even get to.

I tried to stop this in its tracks by writing a "you wronged me email," but I'm still obsessing, so instead I'm writing here with the hopes that I can make the Want go away.

Lather, rinse, repeat.
