So, I Was Thinking

About Crushes

Okay, I'll be real with you.

I am a mess when I have a crush on someone.

Idk about you, or anyone else, but I am an absolute mess and I can never bring myself to do something about my feelings.

Until recently.

So, I've been crushing on this guy for a few years now. We played the same sport, so I saw him often. The downside: Only during tennis season.

This season, I started talking to him. It started through Facebook messages, then it moved to texts soon after. And recently, we added each other on snapchat.

I know what you're thinking, "Oh, millennials." Haha, I know right?

We've become very close friends, in a span of 2 months. I am beginning to realize that that may be a mistake.

As you may, or may not know, I am going to college in September.

He is too. Except, he's going to a different school. In a different state. Halfway across the country.

It's devasting, for both of us. Because we have become such good friends and we love to talking to each other. We plan to keep talking to each other. And who knows, maybe it'll all work out in the end, though we'll be so far apart.

And I know what your probably thinking: There are plenty of guys going to the same college as you.

Yes, I know. But you if had met a guy like this one, you wouldn't want to let him go so easily either.

We're talking about a guy who love the idea of reading a book wrapped in a warm blanket on a winter day. A guy who watches sunsets and the stars at night. A humble, shy, and super sweet guy who doesn't want recognition for his accomplishments. A guy who reminds you you look beautiful and loves those snapchat with funny faces and crazy filters.

Anyway, the point of this story was to tell you guys to act on your crushes. If you like someone, do something about it asap. While you are busy thinking about them, they are busy getting on with their life, committing to different colleges. Don't be shy and talk to them. Don't be like me!!

I know some people are afraid of rejection, but honestly, it'll help you move on. Besides, what's the point of hanging on to someone who won't do the same for you?

So, go ahead. Get some confidence. Talk to them. Start something. Start a friendship at least. You'll get to know them. It's quite wonderful. ❤💘
