Do you ever want something impossible?

[Noor]

I mean seriously impossible?

How do you stop wanting it?

Poll to follow

 

[toubab]

Of course. And you can't stop wanting it.

 

[Noor]

Of course. And you can't stop wanting it.

I suspected as much. ugh.

 

[doctor_insanus]

These days, more and more of what I want seems impossible.

 

[Mayberrygirl]

It is part of being a silly human... I prefer to call such things dreams of what could be..

I'm going to grow a new kidney.

Screw mick jagger. I don't even get what I need.

But your gifs make smiles possible!

Yes.
Every Goddamn Day.

As to how to get it to stop, I don't know. But I'm pretty sure giving up hope has something to do with it.

I want Megan Good. Is that impossible?

 

[Noor]

I don't know that I have any hope on this.
His bestie keeps saying it's like a long bad dream and he just wants to wake up, but I don't see it in that way.
This is my reality, I don't like it, but he is gone, that is that.
I just want him back.

Are they alive? If so, it's possible but not probable

 

[MichaelinChina]

all the time..sometimes I get it.

I'm going to never see that girl in life. It's impossible.

I was like that for many years after my brother died. He was my only sibling, and we were so damn close it was like I lost half of me.....
I wanted him back so badly it was a physical pain that often drove me to my knees.
It took me a long time to realise that the only thing I was doing was prolonging the unbearable pain, because my longing for the impossible was stopping me from being able to remember him with love, affection and happy-pain (instead of agony-pain.)

It's not easy.
But once I accepted that this new reality was forever, it wasn't quite so hard anymore.
It has been 18 1/2 years, and I still have moments of intense loss.

I hope and pray your pain lessens with a little more ease than mine did

 

[Noor]

I do remember him fondly and with affection, he still makes me smile and laugh.
It's just stuff happens and I think I wish he could see this, do this, hear about this...
Like another season of a show he liked, the eclipse, rocket launches, his friends getting married, stuff like that

and thank you WQ! Sorry about your brother

 

[jezzilee]

To answer the OP. Yes, a lot of the time.

You should have added "I want Heathyr Hoffman" to your list of options.

I have two days that hit me really hard every year - his birthday and his deathday.
But there are other, random moments.....when I helped birth my grand-daughters, and it hit me that he'd never know them..... when one of my kids achieves a milestone, and I remember he won't be there to celebrate with his niece and nephews.... when I see someone in the street who walks the same way he did, or looks the same from behind....
Those are brief flashes of longing that still physically hurt....but only for the quickest of moments.

That will likely never stop, I think.

Yes, those "I have to tell..." moments.

I don't miss people, most people are pains in the ass. I miss bakeries...around here every bakery and all the great restaurants are gone. Good glazed donuts are impossible to find.
