As many of you know I’m a huge fan of The Blaze and I really can’t wait to hear them Live in Sónar Barcelona this summer. It’s been my dream forever. They have really helped me as in tougher times in my life when I was lost and felt like there’s nothing I could change, as in happy moments when I was grateful for being alive. When I drive down and empty road at 3am, when I’m alone or when I just sit down to write - every time when I feel something I just turn on their music as loud as I can. Not to mention their combination of music and visual storytelling work is indescribable. It's not just music, it’s art. It’s something you have to feel, a whole rollercoaster of emotions. They have really inspired me and influenced a lot, and thanks to The Blaze I now create all of these projects focusing on human emotions and can’t wait to continue to improve, create and follow this journey. Hope you enjoy this video! :)

My first love started when I was a 20yo dude. Very edgy, angsty and naive. Super inmature for my age too, like YEARS behind my peers in everything: goals, studies, emotional maturity, relationships, experience. I'm 33 right now and still am behind my most of my peers if I'm being honest.

A few months of knowing each other, chatting, dating as friends and the wham! my first relationship ever. It lasted for 9 years, more or less. It was a great thing and also a big mistake for this to be that way.

I had crushes like a madman before her, and afterwards still, but I never loved (romantically) anyone before and after even to this day.

It's been like 2 years since the breakup, and a little more than a year since the last time we said goodbye and I still think about her almost everyday in one way or another, or our relationship, our life together that we built, of sharing the same roof and bed for 7 years. And even today I dreamed of her, in that dream we were still together.

I know this isn't healthy at all. I know. I know I should stop those train of thoughts the moment they start, but it's fucking difficult to do so. Even more so because I suspect I have ADHD, ASD ( or to combine both: AuDHD, because comorbodity between those too is really high) and more importantly regarding this aspect of myself: OCD. I think this explains why I'm really far behind my peers in lots of aspects and milestones.

A "good" thing is that I've become recently aware of obsessed I was with her, but like internally obsessed. My life started to rotate around her the first moment we saw each other and she asked for my number and we started chatting and hitting it up. I was a virgin, not kissless. I had like a fling with the next door girl in my neighborgood when we were both like 13-14. We got to third base. But still for the next 6 years I didn't interacted with girls. Too insecure and awkward. And after I started dating with my future gf we didn't have sex until more than 2 years later. We only fooled around, third basing everytime. We had our reasons so that's ok. But I wanted to give this context.



Anyways. It's obvious why I became obsessed. First, OCD which I highly suspect I have (and this is not tiktok diagnosing myself, believe me. I wish I was normal. I don't romanticize mental illness and I'm old enough to not care about belonging to any clique) and also my sorry-ass condition as a virgin, timid, meek, NEET guy.

She was the first woman since that thing with my neighbor. Her presence, her attention and flirting felt like a star illuminating my life. I unconsciously starting adoring her and thinking about her constantly until it became my new normal. It wasn't until she broke up with my that I started, slowly, to realize the deep wounds and toxic mental patterns that had cristalyzed in myself.

If you're a young guy reading this, being in love or crushing over a woman please be careful to not cross the boundary of obsession. And to be clear I loved her and still love her (I don't wanna repeat the experience, even if she offered a second chance I'd reject it inmediately; but I still appreciate her even though there were toxic elements in our relationship she really did some solid things for my wellbeing. It's just that she also was very young and had some unresolved issues and traumas like I did and still do) and I wish her well in her life. But getting obsessed about her and our relationship for 9 years really did something to my mind.

Recovery has been slow but it really works. I haven't go to a therapist yet but reading about this stuff online and applying some treatments and new behaviours really helps. Specially with ADHD and OCD related stuff.

That first young love is a beautiful thing but the tragedy is, most of the time, that the unexperienced of both young lovers that make it so intense and meaningful will eventually spell the doom of the relationship. It's just unavoidable. It sucks but that's how it is.

The good new you're gonna learn new thing about yourself, the pain hits like a mf but it's a matter of living a day at a time and eventually it will be very tolerable until it's just something you can carry around and barely notice. Grief is like that in any way, shape or form: time cures it. Unless you have something like "complicated grief" (sometime called "persistent complex bereavement disorder") which it's something your need to treat with a professional ASAP.

Please take care of yourself. Know yourself better. Don't get obsessed over a woman or anyobody. Love yourself. Self-compassion because we are humans and we all fuck up things from time to time. Learn to grow as a person. Some people there to share a chapter of your life and then leave forever. That's just life. Accept the pain of grief but don't obsses over it.

Reminds me the blessed memories we made with him, unfortunately it didn't work out, and we cooled things off recently... I miss him.
