Crushes

[Lychee]

In my highschool diary I wrote
"Crushes are like farts;
If they don't pass silently I'm really embarrassed."

Thanks for that gem of wisdom, teenage self!

But nah, I'm a big fan of having crushes and finding out about peoples crushes, and encouraging action or reciprocating, or even getting shot down! Being told "I'd rather date a tree!" Makes a really good story, and I will get over any crush rejection eventually.

I'm the opposite of roo! I like to tell people how I feel about them! What a rush! Such adrenalin! I'm not always very good at articulating it, but at that point of seriously crushing I just write flippin' poppy love songs about them or write poems or some other corny artistic thing. Maybe I'm a little bit like Suicune too- I get friend crushes and want to take people out to do things with me, or find or make them little gifts. Its just fun and nice.

At the moment, I have a big love for someone and a few sort-of orbital small crushes on various people around me. I think I'm a little older and wiser now, because I realise it can cause people distress, confusion, or make them think I want something serious if I admit my crushes to them. So, I find it's just a nice warm little glow I can feel in my interactions with my crushes, and I try not to blow on any coals to light up anything more than that.
