I’ve been having these thoughts lately that i can’t seem to shake. they creep in at the most random moments—when i’m out running errands, at the gym, or just scrolling on my phone. my imagination starts running wild, picturing things i shouldn’t.

it’s not like i don’t love my partner, i do. but there’s something thrilling about the forbidden, the "what if." i catch myself fantasizing about strangers, someone who locks eyes with me for a moment too long, or brushes past me in a way that feels intentional. my mind fills in the blanks, and before i know it, i’m lost in this daydream of crossing lines i’ve never thought i’d even consider.

i don’t know if i’d ever act on it, but the thought alone sends shivers through me. it’s the thrill of being wanted, of stepping into the unknown, even if only in my head.

sometimes, i wonder if others feel this way too. is it normal to have these fantasies? or am i just chasing something i shouldn’t?
