I also grew very obsessed with a YF I had several years ago. He was the center of my life, and although I wasn't the center of HIS life, I was very important to him. He told me this and also how much he loved me on a few occasions. I didn't look at it as idolatry, but I was definitely in love with him. Just like you, I thought about him all the time. I wanted to be with him as much as I could. I planned my life around him, and I was quite happy doing so. I wish I could tell you there was a happy ending, but there wasn't. We drifted apart due mainly to his mother not wanting him to be so emotionally close to me. He had become such a huge part of my life, that it left a huge whole when I wasn't seeing him as much. There were a few times that I broke down and bawled like a baby. It was hard. But I did get thru it, and so did he. He got thru it better than me, actually, because his life was a lot more rounded. I still enjoy thinking back to those days and the good times and fellowship we had. I know now that I let myself get too obsessed, but that doesn't erase the good memories. I'm sorry I don't really have any good news for you, except that you will survive and retain all the good times in your memory forever. Dakota |
