>>21757677Yes, I am you, many saplings feel this way.
I am not delusional enough to think someone like Fauna would fix all my problems, but having someone half as sweet as her in my life to dote on, care for, support, and protect would make it worthwhile and let me channel myself anf my goals to be a better person for her. I want to be the person someone like her vents to, to be the rock she can dump her insecurities on. I want to both shield her from the world but also give her the strength behined her to conquer all her challenges.
I want to carry her burdens to give my life purpose.
I would do it all to be able to bask in her warm, bubbly and adorable personality.
Every single thing she has talked about and revealed, from having nerdy hobbies like D&D, collecting fonts for some reason, to always wearing skirts and tights instead of pants has essentially not only matched with the ideal partner I dreamed up, but gone so far beyond in that she is the person I didn't know I wanted in my life so badly. Its a punch in the gut everytime I hear her voice but I cant help but watch more. Its even worse as I have a few other problems that keep me awake at night with nothing to do but think. I just want to sleep off these feelings and be numb again.
I likely sound pathetic as hell but I can't help it.
