Thrill of the "chase"
Have you ever had that feeling while going after something you want really really really bad?
Or at least something you thought you wanted badly? And then when you get it, you realize
it's not as great as you expected it to be? And that it was just the thrill of the chase that you were feeling
and not the emotions that you thought you felt before? I kinda hate that feeling of the chase. If you can relate then you would know that the thrill of the chase can be mistaken as so many other emotions and it sucks to realize that that "thing" was not what you wanted AFTER you get it. It's like wanting a toy so badly and expecting SO much out of it that when you DO get that toy, you don't want it anymore. You want to throw it away but it's hard to throw away something you wanted so bad in the beginning. You're torn between 2 decisions:
1. Throw that toy away because of your mistaken emotions and feelings
2. Pretend you love that toy and cherish it while you can
To me, it's always A LOT easier to go with option 1 but after I throw that "thing" away, I always feel so guilty for wanting it so badly in the first place. I feel horrible knowing that I have to "drop" it or throw it away so fast because I realized my REAL emotions and feelings for it.

OMG, this happens to me all the time.
I know exactly what you mean.
Like, sometimes on your chase to get that "thing" you have a few obstacles in the way, and you just like the whole rush of competing for this thing even if you don't know what your feelings are on it.
I get you Cindy, I got you.
Loll, let's talk this over in Spanish(:
That happens to me as well. I mean last Christmas, i wanted a "roboraptor" and when i got it, i expected so much more out of it. I didn't throw it away but it found a place on my observing shelf. lol
:]
i love how you used a "toy" as an example.
it reminds me of that talk we had in the rain.
