Crushing

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=crushing

If you have no idea what crushing is, Urban Dictionary dictionary defines it nicely for you.  If you don't understand why in the world I would want to talk about stuffing numerous midgets into a high velocity car, I'm talking about definition number one, thankyouverymuch.

For further clarification:

Crushing.  It happens to everyone.  From that one time in kindergarten when Shirley-stole-your-orange-crayon-and-made-you-cry-but-then-nicely-gave-it-back-to-you-with-a-shy-smile-that-made-you-laugh, to that time in Chemistry when you-couldn't-help-blushing-whenever-Jeremy-with-the-amazing-hair-and-his-oh-so-beautiful-blue-eyes-looked-your-way, at some point in you life you are bound to develop a crush.  It happens to the best of us.  So I'm going to talk about crushing!


Isn't it funny how big of an impact that one person can have on your day?  They smile and wink at you, and suddenly you can''t stop smiling, there's a skip in your step (which sounds cliche but I can promise you, really does happen) and you feel like laughing for no reason at all.  It's like magic.  On the other hand, if you see your crush with another girl/guy, or they barely give you the time of day, your soul sinks.  You get tired, bored, and have a sinking feeling in your chest that you just can't place.  True, crushing does involve getting crushed sometimes.  Sometimes, you will be let down, but you have to rise above and be strong.  Don't focus too much of your energy on a crush!  Crushes are meant to be fun, lighthearted!  They're supposed to give you happy butterflies, not make you feel like sinking into the earth.  I personally like seeing the sunshine, so I'm gonna focus on all of the happy stuff, how about you? :)


Google is amazing.  I've been busy searching wonderful Google for a bit now in order to provide some interesting new reading about crushes... This is the first one I found, and it's a bit dorky and seems like it's aimed towards 5th graders, but hey- maybe if more things were explained to us in this easy, little kid way things would make more sense! After reading it, I personally think it has some good points and some good reminders that maybe everyone needs reminding of every now and then. http://kidshealth.org/kid/feeling/thought/crushes.html#

When I was in fifth or sixth grade, WikiHow was my savior.  It was my go-to guide for everything.  And anything.  Trying to decide if I should get bangs?  WikiHow it.  Cutting my own bangs?  WikiHow it!  How to cover up a bad haircut?  WikiHow it!!!  Yes, WikiHow has helped me through a couple of sticky situations in my life. But eventually, I realized that WikiHow isn't as great as I thought it to be.  Yes, I will still turn to it every now and then to figure out how to distress a pair of jeans, but never ever again will I use it for relationship advice.  I confess, I once spent hours taking "does he like you?" tests and looking up "10 steps to make him fall for you" in my free time.  But then I realized- life is about making mistakes.  Especially when it comes to love, you can't plan anything out.  There is no right or wrong way.  In the end, the only way to figure all of this confusing stuff out is to just get out there and go for it!  If they like you, great.  If not?  Try again next time, it's not the end of the world.  However, if you want, feel free to read this webpage.  The tips it gives are legitimate enough.

Be yourself!!! I cannot stress this enough.  If a guy (or girl) is the one for you, you won't have to change for them.  If your crush can't love you for who you really are, they are definitely not worth it.  This blog entry brings up this point a couple of times, yay!

Mkay, well, that pretty much sums up this post.  I hope I've served you well, and don't be sad if you want to hear more about this "crushing" phenomena, I'm pretty positive I'll be posting about this topic in the future.  Peace out!
