Fireworks aren't meant to burn forever.

The times I’ve felt fireworks between me and someone else it’s been momentary, lasting but a few seconds maybe minutes.

The times they lasted longer were just my misinterpretation of obsession or lust. I fell for a guy so hard every part of my day revolved around him. I was prepared to change quite a few things to have his attention. If he so much as glanced in my direction my day was made. Every moment I walked by him was filled with anxiety and excitement. I didn’t know what to do with myself. However, all signs pointed to his disinterest, yet I paid them no mind. I was over eager, and completely blind to reality.

It wasn’t long before it was unmistakably clear his sights had been set on someone else. What I thought were fireworks were needles trying to shock me back to the real world.

This wasn’t the first time I obsessed over someone, but it sure was the last. I’m not going through that again. There’s something unhealthy about that kind of behavior, even if it’s mutual. There should be moments of normalcy, nothing too high nor too low. There should be a balance.

If you’re experiencing an all time high all the time, you might be holding that person on a pedestal they don’t deserve, and digging a grave for yourself.

Give the fireworks a time limit.
