Crushes. That is what they do; they crush you. However, as the prideful man I am, I have recently walked away from my unrequited crush on this one woman. For once I was not attracted to her outer appearance but rather to her point of view towards life. I remember feeling like we were alike in so many ways yet so different in others. And somehow, that worked for me. Until I snapped out of it by the end of that very semester, when I realized that I'm only attracted to those who resemble me in a way, which meant that they possessed some of my own qualities.
You see, when I say that I see myself in someone, it doesn't necessarily mean that I only see the good side of me in them. I thought it did, at first. Then I had a very rude awakening when I noticed some sort of a pattern going on, and I was never the same again.
