[v] again

She's back.

Although things are going well with (L), I've been having my customary doubts. No doubts about (L). Nope. She's fantastic, ...almost too fantastic. It won't take her long to figure out how much better she can do than me. I actually worry about this.

Here is the thing.

I did to [v] what most girls do to me. They figure out that while I have much to offer, I don't have one really great quality or success to hang my hat on. I'm well-read, but not extensively read. I'm good-looking, but not gorgeous. I'm smart, but not brilliant. I have some talent, but have not used it to much success (yet). I make a good (but not great) living. And I'm NOT funny. I just fall a little short in all these categories. For me and [v], ...she is not highly educated, kinda old-fashioned, very attractive but not super hot, and due to travel restrictions, cannot visit me. I have to visit her.

It's selfish, hypocritical, short-sighted, and probably a mistake to pass her by. Yet, I can't shake the feeling. Anyway, she's back for now. I'll not let it go too far as she does not know about (L).
