Filling in the void with the wrong things.

0

I’m a 14 year old girl. Typically, I have people I might idolize a little too much, usually people I don’t… Really know. Well, because I’m surrounded by people which aren’t exactly great role models. I come from a pretty shattered background, but there’s nothing to it, really. And the idolization has really grown to me for a while now, and I realize, you know, I’m molding all these superhuman-like qualities from celebrities I admire in my head, because I don’t really know how they are like, and can just assume they’re everything I’ve wanted in a person.
And I think I’ve been a little too hopeful one day I’m going to meet this one person that basically is the epitome of everything I’ve looked forward to in life. And i’ll get the happiness, securiy, and love I’ve yearned for.
Because I have a habit of letting reality hit me a little harder than it should, I understand I don’t know if this person even exists. And it’s been chewing away at my motivation to do anything anymore because this person in my head isn’t real. I’m gluing amazing personalities to flawless faces.
I’m never going to meet someone who is 101% agreeable in my mind, and yeah, fault leaves a little more room for it. But even so, it’s like… What guarantees, you know, one day I’m going to meet some person that’s going to make the rest of my days a little brighter? I’m stuck thinking I’m going to end up in a home with a bunch of cats for the rest of my life.

I felt that way too when I was 14. Had fictional ideas of perfect people in my mind. Eventually I got bored of the perfection and started to find imperfections more intriguing. Honestly, you may get sick and tired of the perfect thinking, and you may not. Me, I just grew out of it. I'm more attracted to the "perfect imperfections" and quirks of people than anything. But, everyone's different, so I can't tell you whether or not this is just a phase for you. You'll find someone, someday, who makes you feel like you've always dreamt - but they will have their flaws, and you may or may not love them for it. Best of luck sweetie!

You seem to know a lot about yourself. When I was 14, I didn't know a thing about me. Just what I wanted. You will meet that one person that can and will make you happier in life. It's just how fate works out. There is no such thing as a "perfect person". There was only one in history. That was Jesus Christ. It's up to you to determine if you'd care about their imperfections more than the good things.

Whoever you are, wherever you are there's always gonna be someone out there who's perfect for you. I can't guarantee that you two will ever cross paths but that someone is out there. You just gotta keep your eyes open.I used to pretend that I had this boyfriend in my mind and I had conversations with him in my head whenever I felt really bad. So you're not the only one ;) I hope you find your someone soon! Xx
