half-life fads

mouse count: 4

so it turns out that i'm a fad... people meet me... i'm new and different... refreshing... people are somehow able to be themselves around me... but then... the half-lives start kicking in... and the fad fades out... i'm always there... into infinity... but somehow i get smaller and smaller and i just fade away...
phase one= "favorite toy phase" you play the game every waking moment, you miss it and think about it when you aren't with it, you love it and its the best time you've every had.
phase two= "show and tell phase" you don't play the game all the time... but when it comes up you tell people that don't know that you have the game... and you bring it around to show them... you monopolize it when the they come over to play... because its still your favorite game.
phase three="closet space phase" you're really busy and don't really think about the game that much... and eventually you're cleaning one day... and you really just don't have room for the game anymore... you'll see it when you shove other things in the closet with it... and you'll think... i should play with that some time... *smirk* and go about
phase four="remember that one game? phase" game's still there... but not played with... just remembered that it was fun one time... a lot of fun... but that was a long time ago...


so i've got half-lives... never fully disappearing... but fading slowly... i'm the old favorite game... and i'm the passing fad.

don't get me wrong here... this sorta sounds depressing... but its not... i'm not upset about this. it actually helped me a lot... i was able to let go of things that i had been holding on to... they moved on and so should i... i was holding on to nothing and this little realization helped me to get that...

:) it's getting better all the time
