OK before
sugar84 and myself were discussing whether love is the same as obsession as far as people are concerned. I was telling her that I had learnt that it was different, but it took me a while to figure it out. It took me a while to figure out that in liking the women in my life I didn't exactly know them intimately yet I said I did. So I had to create immages in my poor little head to couteract not knowing them really, as much as I'd wanted too. So, while I believed that I "loved" them, it was not the case, but they were still on my mind 24/7 .. so .. I matured a little and loved a little, I mean .. really. .. I know there's a difference.

sorry again bout that. guess everyone else is going to have the same problem. :( *grrrr <33
