You make so much sense sometimes. Yeah, a big part of this has to do with Jeremy and very little with me. I do totally admit that part of it is with my own intimacy issues, which I fully own. But another huge part of it is that I'm like The Final Frontier. All his life Jeremy's been able to point to various girls and go, "I'll take you, you and you," and he was never able to just get me like that. I didn't do it on purpose or to be a challenge, I just didn't fall in love; way it goes. He's too much my brother. I've always felt like he was blood.

I've been unrequited, too. 99% of my life, in fact. Eventually you say "Okay" and then you move on. That's easier when you're used to being told "no", which clearly he isn't used to.

I also hope he comes to his senses and realizes that he's being an idiot. When / if he does, I'll still be here to hang out with him at any time. Because he is a good friend ... when he's being a good friend.

As always, thank you for your perspective. *hugs you to death*
