i will never give up the art of crushing sometimes i wish i could ascend out my body and kiss myself that’s when i realized what i truly wanted. last person i had a crush on idek how to describe… but he was smart had a lot to say and of all the people he could say things to he wanted to tell it to me and i liked that very much. his intimacy and nourishment was a miracle? he also tend to stare at me intensely he made me feel very shy and beautiful until he didn’t.

«of all the people he could say things to he wanted to tell it to me and i liked that very much» - UGHHH this part. i relate! it’s a beautiful thing to be able to acknowledge a crush and the intimacy without having that feeling swallow you whole. we’re doing great 🤍

“Deep down I know a crush is a monologue, not a conversation. Being both the narrator and the protagonist is boring” - such a good sentence ❤️❤️ The way you write is truly beautiful, an amazing read thank you!

Utterly perfect. Your description of what its like to have a crush, the horrors and beauties of it, were just so so good. I loved it, and I needed it-- because God do I need a new crush, this current one is not serving me anymore!

I'm developing a (very heathy) addiction to your reads, the way you manage to put every feeling and emotion into words is just sumptuous, makes me want to immerse into the whole thing <3

Feelings that I thought I was alone with, turns out are felt by many other wonderful women, because yes we just magnificent and feel a lot :)

I truly couldn’t love this more. You are so right on. On my deathbed, I can promise you I won’t be wishing I had less crushes. Says the 35-year old, married, mom of a 4.5 year old and psychotherapist 🙋🏼‍♀️

"what ever happened to good old crushing and why did we ever grow out of it? Is admiration synonymous with naivete?"
