A minor realization about a major self internalized issue

Explanations are not always meant for a change in the course of action.

I realized not too long ago that my feelings are my responsibility, not a recent realization, but just because I explain how I feel that does not mean that there needs to be a change in action on the others behalf, a new realization. the only change that is needed is from me. 

why is it that I feel a type of ownership of loved things and loved ones? I honestly do not know. that does not mean that I will stop loving them or that they should stop loving me back. 

I get so possessive of people, places, and things. Even as small as the Oxford comma I used just now. Never a common attribute, always a chance for something to be taken away from me. I know that these things often do not belong to me and I know that they never will. but I sure do wish that they did.
