I miss him
The story
ever had one of those holiday flings that just knocked you on your ass???? well, that was me this summer. spent almost a month with this guy and damn, those were some of the best days of my life!!! first real love, you know??? now i'm back home and honestly, it feels like i'm missing a part of myself. it’s been 4 months and i can’t shake him off my mind. 🤷♀️
back then, everything was freaking perfect. sun, sea, and him—the trifecta!!!!!! we did all the typical touristy crap, but somehow, it never felt cliché, just magical. every night we'd hit up the beach, talk about shit, and it was like our souls were vibing, ya know? or maybe it was just the cocktails talking, hell if i know!!! one night, i swear, he said he loved me. and i believed it. god, was i naive for buying that??? but in the moment, i didn't give a damn. 😏💔
now back home, drowning in real life bullshit. college sucks, friends are the same old buzzkills, and doesn't help when all i think about is him. texting is alright, but it's sooooo different than hanging out. 🙄 long-distance blows. what’s the point?????? can’t help but wonder if he even misses me or moved on. was it all just a sick joke???? but if it was, why was it so damn sweet????
everyone says move on, "there's more fish in the sea," right???? i'm not buying that crap right now. it’s annoying how everyone pretends to know better. like, maybe I want to hold on to this pain a bit more, learn from it, i guess. love is a goddamn emotional rollercoaster. anyone else ride this hellish ride too???? honestly, i just want to scream and maybe slap some sense into myself. but hey, life goes on, yeah???? just wished he was still in it...

Points of view
i totally get where you're coming from; summer flings can be intense!!! they seem like a perfect mix of adventure and emotion 🤔 they have a way of making everything feel so real and urgent;
it's frustrating how real life sneaks back in and messes with that vibe, right? i had a similar experience once, and it left me wondering if the connection was genuine or just a byproduct of the moment; long-distance always seems to create more doubt than clarity, doesn't it??
trying to focus on college and daily routines with all those memories in your head must be tough; i too have felt like i've been stuck in a perpetual loop, questioning if it mattered at all???
your friends saying "more fish in the sea" probably doesn't help the feeling of emptiness; why does everyone seem to have advice, but none of it feels right in the moment??! i hope you find some clarity and peace eventually; sometimes it takes time for everything to make sense!!!
damn, i totally feel ya on this! those summer flings can hit harder than a punch to the gut 💥 it’s like the perfect storm of everything awesome, and then reality just smacks you back home. the whole sun, sea, and love combo is dangerous, right? reminds me of when i had this summer with someone and it was like living in a freakin' dream, everything felt surreal and perfect for a hot minute.
why do these holiday vibes make everything so damn intense? it’s like every sunset is colored differently and every moment feels like forever. crazy how the days seem longer and more vibrant when you're with someone who's got your heart racing. ever feel like real life needs a pause button sometimes so you can just breathe and take it all in? 😅
texting just ain't the same, for real. long-distance sucks big time, like trying to watch a movie with a bad signal — all the good bits get lost in the static. you ever think about what's going on in his head? like, is he also stuck in the past, or has he just shrugged it off like last year's fashion? anyway, hope you find a way to keep those good vibes alive, even when you're drowning in the college mess and all that boring everyday crap. stay strong, dude!
it seems like you're really caught up in this summer fling, but let's be real, these things are often temporary illusions. 😊 while your experience sounds dreamy with the sun, sea, and love, it's important to differentiate between a fleeting romance and something genuinely meaningful. often, holiday romances are more about the environment and less about an actual deep connection. it seems like the atmosphere wrapped you up in a fantasy, which can be quite deceptive in its allure.
i had a similar whirlwind romance once, and it felt like nothing could top it. but once i was back home, the realization hit that it was more about the excitement of the moment than an actual connection. you mentioned texting just isn’t the same, and you're right. mediated communication lacks the immediacy and emotional nuance of face-to-face interactions, leading to feelings of incompleteness and longing.
while it feels tough now, maybe there's some validity in the advice that "there's more fish in the sea." this experience might be more about personal growth and less about true love. it's crucial to take a step back and consider if being "love-drunk" by the holiday atmosphere clouded your judgment. 🤔 finding someone who fits into your real life might not offer the same whirlwind, but it could provide more stability and genuine connection.
honestly, summer flings sound all dreamy and stuff, but they can seriously mess with your head!!! you get all wrapped up in this whirlwind romance, and then bam, you're hit with reality when you get back home. that whole "first real love" thing might seem epic at the time, but was it really love or just the excitement of being away from your usual routine?
i know from my own experience you build these moments up in your head to be larger than life, kinda like a movie or something; makes you wonder if it's all in our minds, trying to make something more out of a fleeting moment. the moonlit beach talks and the cocktails probably just added to the vibe, right?
i gotta say, long-distance is a killer and can turn all those sweet memories into a torture device, playing on repeat in your mind!!! texting doesn’t fill that void either, does it??? sometimes it makes you question if they’re really missing you or if you're just a fun chapter in their book. i've been there, and it really makes you doubt the authenticity of the whole experience.
so, i get why folks say "more fish in the sea," annoying as it is, there might be some truth to it. maybe it's time to look ahead and see what's out there instead of holding onto something that might have just been a vacation fantasy. what do you think he’s got going on now? moved on or still stuck in the same loop?
it truly sounds like you've been through a lot. summer flings can be intoxicating, no doubt about that. however, the ephemeral nature of such escapades often leaves one questioning their significance in the long term. you mention that "those were some of the best days" of your life, yet the transient nature of these interactions can leave one feeling disoriented and longing for something more substantial.
texting, as you've noticed, cannot replicate the dynamic interpersonal exchanges experienced in person; mediated communication can be intrinsically limiting. the "sea" might indeed offer more "fish," but moving forward can be a daunting prospect, especially when emotions are as raw as yours seem to be.
"love is a goddamn emotional rollercoaster," you say; such sentiments echo the complexities inherent in human relationships. it is healthy to question the authenticity and sincerity of your summer romance. from a detached perspective, one may speculate whether he, too, grapples with similar doubts or if his life resumed without disruption.
sounds like that summer fling was intense, and i get why you're still hung up on it. but honestly, holiday romances can be deceiving, right? they're kinda like these perfect little bubbles that don't really fit into real life. it's easy to get caught up in the dream-like vibe, but sometimes it clouds reality.
the way you describe it, everything felt perfect—sun, sea, and romance—but maybe it was more about the environment than true connection; ever thought about how being on vacation can make everything seem more magical than it really is?
i mean, long-distance relationships are challenging, especially when most of the connection was forged in such a different setting. mediated communication like texting might keep the conversation going, but it doesn't fully capture the intimacy you had in person. it makes you wonder if the connection is sustainable off the vacation high.
also, it's understandable to be skeptical about everyone's "more fish in the sea" advice; because right now, one meaningful experience stands out. maybe reflecting on whether this was genuine love, or just a great time, could offer some clarity. either way, it seems like you're on a journey to understand what it all meant.
i get that summer flings can feel super intense, like you're living in a fantasy for a while. but honestly, they can also be a bit misleading. it’s easy to think it’s love when everything around you is just so perfect and carefree. i had a similar experience once and thought it was the real deal; turned out it was just the holiday vibe playing tricks on me.
long-distance can be a drag and it's tough to keep the spark alive through just texts. it often makes you question if the connection was real or just a vacation phase. i know how friends say "more fish in the sea" can sound so cliché, but sometimes they have a point. it's good to hold on to those memories, but maybe it's also time to look at the bigger picture and see what else is out there.
i totally get the mix of emotions, but it's important to figure out if it was genuine or just a magical moment in time.
