You know something I realized? We, as people, don't really realize how important something is to us until it's missing or gone or going to be taken from you. This is something I've come to realization to. I don't realize who I deem important to me until I notice they're missing/not there, and trust me: I don't hand my love out to just anyone, and I'm usually unaware who I deem important to me because that part of my mind won't know how important someone is to me (online or not) until I realize they're not there or haven't talked to me.

As for something. Same thing. I don't know how important something is to me unless I think deeply about it or realize that something is missing. Recently, I haven't been playing Pokemon as much. I did realize how important Pokemon is to me, and started playing some more today. That's a very relevant example. I'm on a Pokemon forum, aren't I? There you go. That's the kind of person I am. I don't realize how important someone or something is until I do it less, or it's gone.

While on the topic of important...

Love.

Don't look at me like that.

Yes, I went there. Jesus Christ.

I never realized what love was until I started realizing I loved someone (platonically) myself. Mind you, they're a person online. I won't share who it is. Either way, if people follow me on social media, you already know. Be quiet. Don't reveal if you know.

I suppose... love is well, talking to someone for a long time, enjoying yourself, and then you look at the clock, and realize it's 2AM. It gets to me every time, actually. I suppose thinking about them a lot, too, and trying to be there for them, internet or not. Platonic, meaning not romantic. If I said "in love" now, that'd be different. Being able to tell the person anything, and trusting them... feeling happy around them, I guess? That sort of thing.

Remember, we all have that one person who will always be there for you. Everyone has that one. I have my one. A common thing to remember is that we aren't alone. Or so I've... tricked myself into believing.

"In solitude, we are least alone."

Love is a painful emotion, honestly. I realize when the person isn't there. Like, any other person, I won't pay much attention to, but when it comes to love, you notice that person isn't. Strange. Must be a chemical in the brain or something.

Also, while other people seem to easily be able to say "I love you", I can't. You have to earn that from me, or something, and I actually have to mean it. I won't just throw those words at someone if I don't actually love them. Also, I'm very uncomfortable if you say you love me if I don't say it first... please don't do that, especially if you don't mean it. Friendship, platonic, romantic, I don't care, don't say it. Ily is fine, <3 is fine, but I hold "I love you" very seriously. Those are not words I'll throw out to just anyone. And I haven't said those three words to many people. Due to how seriously I take them.

Uh, anyway, don't be like me, and realize too late what's important to you. It takes me a long time to remember what/who is important to me. I need to work on that. Same thing with love. I need to figure out what it really is.
