Limerence is fading
It was so intense for so long. I'm not sure how after 7 months it's finally leaving me. He doesn't occupy my thoughts 24/7 anymore. I feel like I have control back and it feels great.
I'm focusing more on myself and validating myself rather than looking to external validation from my coworker. I'm engaging in hobbies in college and in my own time. I feel like my focus is back. I feel free, lighter, content.
I feel like the changing point could have been when I told my long term boyfriend about the limerence. It seemed to fade quite quickly after that. I still find my coworker attractive, don't get me wrong. But my thoughts are more fluid, I can focus better and not have him occupying my thoughts like a plague.
