bruce potterThe Unreachable, Unthinkable and Unattainable
September 23rd 2006 02:49
So....just from pure observation, and talking from experience as well, why are there people who are only attracted to people they can never ever have? Why do they have to put themselves in such a position and torture themselves, knowing full well that those that they love are pretty unattainable, unreachable?
Is it because they have an issue with commitment and therefore by being attracted to the unreachable, unattainable, it saves them from every commiting to anything?
Is it because by reaching for the unreachable, their love life will always remain a fairy tale and the reality of knowing if there could be a chance will not matter, becoz its just a fanatasy that is well-preserved? That way, there will never be broken hearts as there was really nothing to begin with. THat way, there will only be happy memories of admiring, and loving the significant other from afar.

Sometimes you even get these people and either do everything you can to sabotage it or you just simply find you dont want them anymore.
You find the wrong people whilst you're not yet ready to find the right one. For whatever reason that may be.

Also, we do want what we can't have...and I think that plays into it a bit.

Personally, I've found my love. I am in the position where it [love] is totally achievable, yet the receiver chooses not to acknowledge or accept it. It kills me to see this person everyday, and be turned away.
I could then turn the blame onto myself; trying harder to make my love realize, but I am almost at my limits. Should I back away? And possibly forget? Or is persistence the key?
