F***ed Up Friday: There's a Fine, Fine Line

There's a different between your head and your heart.  Sometimes your head is screaming "This girl is perfect for you," but your heart just kind of shrugs.  Other times, your brain (and sometimes your friends) are slapping you and telling you to just get over the boy, and your heart is just sitting there like a pouty schoolgirl refusing to budge.

Hands up if that's ever happened to you?  Yeah...thought so.

Unfortunately, I'm much more likely to fall into the second camp.  I crush easily, but then I tend to get over my crushes fairly quickly eventually.  But sometimes you just need to kick start your heart.

This is one of my favorite songs for getting over a crush.  Yes, it's show tunes, but deal ok.  It's my blog, I'll fall into whatever stereotypes I want ^_^  Today's selection is "There's a Fine, Fine Line" from Avenue Q.

There's a fine, fine line
between a lover, and a friend.
There's a fine, fine line
between reality, and pretend;
And you never know 'til you reach the top
if it was worth the uphill climb.

There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time

There's a fine, fine line
between a fairy tale, and a lie.
And there's a fine, fine line
between "you're wonderful" and "goodbye".
I guess if someone doesn't love you back
it isn't such a crime

But there's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of your time
And I don't have the time to waste on you anymore.
I don't think that you even know what you're looking for.
For my own sanity I've got to close the door
And walk away...
Oh...

There's a fine, fine line
between together,
and not.
And there's a fine, fine line
between what you wanted,
and what you got.
You gotta go after the things you want
while you're still in your prime.

There's a fine, fine line
between love,
and a waste of time.

Emphasis added.

As we've discussed, love and relationships and crushes and feelings are weird.  Strange.  And so many times, completely and totally irrational.  But just because they're irrational doesn't mean we don't want them just the same.  And it doesn't mean they're not there, even if we wish they weren't.

So anyway...there's the head space.  It's now a matter of dealing with it.
