i stumbled across an old crush’s weblog today. it’s weird to relive the times when i gushed about him and pronounced my undying love for him to all of my friends. i didn’t even know this person.

when you’re fourteen years old, everyone is a potential crush. i had my share of crushes on people i passed by in halls or shared classes with, people i would never approach, people whom i put on a pedestal without them ever saying a kind word to me.

i get embarrassed about how i acted when i was younger, drawing hearts around this crush’s face in my yearbooks, trying to keep it a secret but desperately wanting him to know. i was gawkish and naive.
