I think it's probably good for the soul to feel hopeful about the state of love and hopeful that there are people out there who you would want to meet and get to know and fall for.
I read this really great Psychology Today piece that talks about how
Crushes make us feel excited.
They keep us caring about how we present to the world, which is probably important from an evolutionary perspective.
They keep us optimistic.
They're also just like, once again, they're fun.
Like a crush is fun.
And that can be all that it is.
Liking somebody that you know, like you have no intention of actually ever doing anything about it.
Like you have no intention of like asking them out.
Like it's not that serious.
Like that's fun.
It's like what being in your 20s is about.
That's when I personally think like situations like this are okay.
Like, you know they're not going to hurt you because they don't want you back, so you can kind of just observe.
But when they dance into, like, dangerous territory emotionally is when we encounter this, like, objective desire situation where, once again, we think of them as the savior.
We put our first name next to their last name.
Like, we lose ourselves to our obsession.
What they do, how they choose to treat us, whether we see them or not, dictates our entire emotional state.
And we do just silly things.
