Miss me? It's been a whole 2 minutes. I need to update.
I'm terrified... absolutely terrified. I'm scared that I'm just a placeholder. I'm scared that I'm going to show up and things aren't going to work out. I'm scared that he'll leave. I'm scared that he'll find someone else. I'm scared he wishes I were someone else. I'm scared he'll stay with me because he promised he would even though he'd rather be with someone else. I'm scared I'll never be enough. I'm scared. I'm really really scared.
I don't think any of that is going to happen but they all seem at least mildly plausible.
I'm scared he's going to get bored. I'm scared the stress of being physically apart is going to ruin it. I'm scared that when he sees me in person he's not going to want me anymore. I'm scared that when we kiss there won't be a spark. I'm scared that I won't be enough. ... I already said that. It bears repeating. I'm scared that it won't last. I'm scared that this is all just a fairytale. I'm scared that he doesn't really love me or that if he does it will go away. I'm scared I will drive him away. I'm scared that if he saw this list of fears he would freak out and leave. I'm scared that he won't understand. I'm scared I'll never understand. I'm scared.
I'm scared because I love him dearly. I'm scared because it's not official. I'm scared because we haven't met. I'm scared because everything seems like it can change in an instant.
I'm scared that he'll find someone better... or realize that someone he's already been with is better than me.
So far I haven't let any of these fears get to me and I'm certainly not reacting to any of them. I can't. They're just fears. They are based on my own insecurity and the uncertainties I have in this situation. At some point those insecurities and uncertainties will go away and I will be fine. Or... the worst case scenario.... my insecurities and uncertainties end up being based on solid ground.
Things he has told me that should make me feel better:
He loves me.
I'm the only one for him.
He wants to be with me forever. (I could be paraphrasing there but I think that's the gist of it.)
He will love me for all the rest of our days.
He wants us to be together.
There has been talk of children. (Somewhat jokingly most of the time but a few times seriously.)
There has been talk of marriage. (I kinda fucked that one up, I think, though.)
... I feel slightly better now. I don't feel quite as insane anyway.
I meet him in March. I can't wait. :)
