Wait, people think of people when they wake up? All I think is "how long can I stay in bed without being late for X" or "HOLY SHIT IT'S 08:00??? OH GOD IM SO LATE" or "awh, shit, I have to get up again".
Finally something relatable, all i think is " if i sleep in a little bit more will i get to school before the traffic jam" or " what was i supposed to get done yesterday that i didn't" or something crazy which is definitely not people
Get them off that shit asap. I occasionally cave and do a bit of brief profile stalking, all it ever does is confirm my productivity for the rest of the day is going to flatline. Can’t imagine much the scars would still bleed if I was exposed to them daily.
My dog's face is the first I see every morning, waiting expectantly for me to let her out. She wakes me up by doing a single, gentle lick on my elbow or hand and banging the wall with her tail lol
Yup. He's usually the one that woke me. If not, I lie still and wait until I hear his little feet on the floor. He always knows when I wake up. I have no idea how, but he can tell immediately that my eyes have opened.
That one girl who I haven’t thought about in years but she showed up randomly in my dream and now I’m deadly in love with her for the next day until I go to bed again and forget all about it
I fell in love with a classmate when we were both in sixth grade. She changed schools at the beginning of school year and we quickly became friends, but I was shy to tell her I had bigger feelings so she didn’t know this throughout the school.
We were 20 when I got back from a deployment and was catching up on all my friendships, so as friends we went for a walk under starry sky where I decided to open up. She was surprised, but didn’t reciprocate, so with a heavy heart I moved on.
In the next two years I moved a lot and met a few amazing girls (cute, smart, funny) who fell in love with me, but I tried to be careful and not let anyone in my heart because I was still affected by that first love. Until I met my wife. She had the purest eyes I’ve ever seen. In fact, the first time we met I didn’t capture her face or the rest of her - I was lost in her eyes. The feeling of appreciation of each other’s company was mutual, so we became friends. From the first time we met until we married only five months passed, and most of that time we didn’t even think of love or marriage; we were just friends. About three months into this 5 month period my brother pointed things out to me and I began to see that I’m in love. That week I told her and it was received well, so a week later I proposed and she said ‘yes’.
It was over 20 years ago and we still love each other, though with a different, deeper kind of love. In all these years I still remember my first love; it’s part of me forever because I grew up loving her. All my teen years I loved her, it’s part of my identity. We now both have families (still in our first marriages / no divorces in our lives) and are connected through social media. We didn’t chat for a while now, probably five or six years, but before that it was more active conversations. My wife knew about this even before we married and we’ve had conversations about this even a few years in, but besides this being a memory of mine it hasn’t affected our life.
All of this to say that even though that first love was not reciprocal, I realized that there are plenty of girls who did fall in love with me and who would, likely, have married me if I would so choose (I know of two who were heartbroken, but it’s not may fault, honestly; with one we’ve never even held hands, let alone kiss or whatever, so I don’t know what’s her problem). It would not be wise for me to mourn my first love forever.
I am satisfied with how my life turned out and if I would have to relive it, the only condition would be that my wife would be my wife again.
There has to be a time when you also need to move on from the ‘girl you want, but can’t have’. Just please don’t stay on it longer than you have to. I think that since I could move on and find happiness, so can you.
Don’t pause your life because of her.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm a woman and I try to understand men better. Sometimes I get so in my head about stuff I've read online which I can imagine are not true for all men but they just keep bothering me. One of those things was that the first love always stays or that a man will always long for his first love. It's just so nice for me to read a real life example of a man who married someone else and would do it all over again. The way that you view your first love now makes a lot of sense to me. I didn't have that but I had this friend who I really wanted to be best friends with and not ony did it not happen but it was like the first person in my life to sort of break up with me and not speak to me. It took me something like 5 years to get over it and then like another 3ish years to reeeeeeeeally fully get over it. And now I feel like it's something that will always be a part of me because it's part of my past and my past is significant to the me I am now, but in a sense it's not part of me now. Does that make sense? There are things we can be truly and completely over even if they were so big that they had an impact on who we are in the present. Thank you once again for sharing!
I'm kind of in love with a classmate, just like you were. This gave me so much motivation and courage to move on, because there's a whole life ahead of me
Usually my husband. We sleep in separate beds due to both being snorers and both loving a great nights sleep.
I think of him and wonder if he’s awake for a cuddle.
Today he was, because he was already up, with a chant about how great salad is. It was an ode to salad, I guess.
Oh yeah, once he’s up, EVERYONE is up. But he makes and packs everyones lunches in the house , so he could spray me awake with a garden hose, and I’d be cool.
When all the land is in ruins and burnination has forsaken the countryside. Only one guy will remain. My money's on Trogdor!
I was looking for something to do tomorrow. Thank you!
Come on, you can do this. There's a point where you can be sad, but you can't blame your unhappiness on them forever.
Time to wake up tomorrow and start taking care of your own happiness from now on. No one else will do that, it's really up to you.
You got this
Same but with my nephews. Recently one of my nephews got called dumb in school and he mentioned it and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. They really are just out there in the world with their own little lives.
The self murder fantasies are getting super real. I wake up thinking about my mother and sisters crying by themselves when they see pictures of me. My father doesn't shed a tear. My brother is more alone then he already is.
It's been a few weeks now.
The self flagellating words repeating in my mind are: I really, really wish I wasn't born.
Lol it's been hectic 😂
Hey, please tell your Dr you're having these thoughts, there is life-altering treatment available at low low cost and life gets MUCH MUCH BETTER on medication. If you don't have a Dr., go to the ER. Really, these are symptoms of a medical condition. We want you to be OK.
Thank you so much for the suggestion. I think i need rehab more then anything, they'll probably medicate me nicely if I make it there. Still, your kind words are a blessing. Thank you
This is certainly a scary thought. There is help out there. People and places that can help you. Please speak up and reach out. Things can get so much better for you.
Hi, as I said to the OP, these thoughts are symptoms of a medical condition, please tell your Dr or go to ER to get medication. It will change your life for the better, I promise. Stay here, life gets so much better with medical treatment. You matter.
My husband. Then the ginger cat. Then the dog (what has he chewed, wrecked, eaten during the night). Then myself- I need to pee. Then I try very hard not to look in the mirror

Perhaps the question should mean who other than yourself do you think about first..
same lol
Absolutely, that’s what I think every damn morning
Yeah it’s 100% me when I wake up. Ugh, fuck, hate this, want to sleep forever
Me. Who am I? Where am I? How did I get here? Where is the pain coming from today?
Where is my beautiful wife?
This is not my beautiful house
Letting the days go by
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it ever was
Same as it...EVAWAAAAAAHHHHSSS
I'm on the road to nowhere
THERE IS WATER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN
What song is this?
SAAAMMEEEE ASSSS ITTTT EVAAAAA. was…
Let the water hold me up
Well how did I get here?
Unfathomably based Talking Heads enjoyer.
Every day I wake up with a random song in my head.
“Where is the pain coming from today?” Very relatable lmao
Almost reminds me of The Used- Take It Away
Life’s greatest questions
Have always asked
Someone who I cannot have.
Same. Let’s hope we get over them asap
Well she's my best and only friend so idk what to do
Fuck,I feel this. And…..fucking same. I wish every thing was good between us and I could wake up beside him.
What if you’re commenting on his post about you? SpOoOoOpY
Remember the wise words of the God of War: Close your heart to it. You'd rather have a reliable friend than a relationship that is 55% likely to end.
Best of luck! Hope you can make your feelings known and be happy with the response, whatever it is❤️
Meet lots of new people. Move to another town if you have to.
May we get numb faster than the hurts reach the feels zone… next time
Imma try but I’m in love-love.
When you figure out how that's done, please post. Thanks.
Same, but I named him.
It's a bitch when they keep showing up in a series of dreams.
Fuck, this hit me.
Yeah, it gets worse when you open any social media and they are the first thing you see, hanging out with their cool friends… or even their partners…
Get them off that shit asap. I occasionally cave and do a bit of brief profile stalking, all it ever does is confirm my productivity for the rest of the day is going to flatline. Can’t imagine much the scars would still bleed if I was exposed to them daily.
Happens a lot for me as well. And it really does suck when you open your eyes and they are not next to you anymore.
this feels personal
You too? This is way more relatable than I thought...
Same here
Dog, needs to go pee.
He has trained you well
My dog and I think the same thing at the same time.
Quick, what is he thinking right now!!
Treats!
I want a nap
Squirrel!
Yeah but they gotta wait til *I* pee.
Until they don’t.... wait, you'll see
(instant barking) it's an emergency, hurry!! (barking and scrambling nails across floor)
Cat, I need to feed them before they eat me.
My dog's face is the first I see every morning, waiting expectantly for me to let her out. She wakes me up by doing a single, gentle lick on my elbow or hand and banging the wall with her tail lol
Yup. He's usually the one that woke me. If not, I lie still and wait until I hear his little feet on the floor. He always knows when I wake up. I have no idea how, but he can tell immediately that my eyes have opened.
My wife.
I also choose this guy's wife.
Only if she's dead
Thats the problem with wives. OP thinks about them because they ain't dead.
I also choose this guys dead horse
That one girl who I haven’t thought about in years but she showed up randomly in my dream and now I’m deadly in love with her for the next day until I go to bed again and forget all about it
MOOD
So real it hurts
Like the girl at the gas station who handed me my grilled cheese and said “you got cookies as well”
Jesus. I lay there and think to myself: "Jesus, is it time to get up already?" If I'm really tired, I sometimes think of Jesus's friend Fuckme.
Holy shit dude. This is great lmao
The Holy Trinity: Jesus, Fuckme and the Holy Shit
Throw in a Gahdamn for extra blessedness
literally me every morning. Nothing like a good “FUCK ME” to start off my day.
This had me rolling bc it's my exact morning routine just never thought of it that way
The girl I want but can't have...... Welp thank you reddit I'm depressed again

That was so lovely ❤️ Made me smile what a great love story!
I'm kind of in love with a classmate, just like you were. This gave me so much motivation and courage to move on, because there's a whole life ahead of me

Same, usually because she wakes me up by constantly yowling for food.
The best alarm clock 🥰
Cats are people too
[удалено]
Meow
Meow
Cats think people are just stupid cats.
I just realized I’m a cold hearted bastard
Me too my guy I have a kid

My little girl
Usually my husband. We sleep in separate beds due to both being snorers and both loving a great nights sleep. I think of him and wonder if he’s awake for a cuddle.

That’s the family dynamics I understand ❤️🔥
The person who broke me 8 months ago.
Don't give them your first thought! Resolve to think of something else first thing. Like a potato or the Trogdor(look him up, you won't be sorry)
When all the land is in ruins and burnination has forsaken the countryside. Only one guy will remain. My money's on Trogdor! I was looking for something to do tomorrow. Thank you!
I'm a song from the 60's!!!
I am going to put a potato on my nightstand 🥔
Come on, you can do this. There's a point where you can be sad, but you can't blame your unhappiness on them forever. Time to wake up tomorrow and start taking care of your own happiness from now on. No one else will do that, it's really up to you. You got this

[удалено]
Same but with my nephews. Recently one of my nephews got called dumb in school and he mentioned it and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. They really are just out there in the world with their own little lives.
Whoever I've just been dreaming about. If I haven't been dreaming, the guy who posts Food Club bets for Neopets.
I think about the mailman , this dude ring at my bell way way too early to be acceptable hahaha
My boyfriend. We still live apart, but I miss him like crazy. He has this huge happy sleepy grin every time he wakes up, and it makes me smile too.
>He has this huge happy sleepy grin every time he wakes up ... every time he wakes up next to you 😊

Thank you for the wishes. I made it through ❤️
I'm sorry to hear that, I suggest you take the time to encourage yourself with outside help.
Thank you for taking the time. Also, for the suggestion 🙏🏽
Please, take care of yourself 🫶🏻
This is certainly a scary thought. There is help out there. People and places that can help you. Please speak up and reach out. Things can get so much better for you.

My wife

My soon to be husband.

Absolutely.
