To have a crush is a complicated ordeal. You have to decide if he's worth the doodles and daydreams. You have to pick daisies and pluck each petal one by one to find out of the fates will say if he loves you or not. You must weigh the option of telling him your deepest secret against the chance of looking like a fool in hopes that he'll return the favor. In middle school, you got friends to ask him about you to see if maybe he has a crush on you too. You don't want to be vulnerable. If he's a friend, it's even more complicated. You don't want to ruin what you have, but you're always hoping for more.
I wrote this little section earlier today as just something to write. Then I came home and decided to watch the latest episode of Glee (I have classes on Tuesdays which force me to miss this hilarious teenage pleasure) and it was a Valentines Day episode -- thus encouraging further my inspiration for today's post.
I was always one to let love make me a fool, and it's been a resolution of mine (before the new year, mind you) to not allow that to happen anymore. I let my emotions run high in school, often ignoring my mother's guidance of 'girls don't ask boys out' and feeling like an idiot afterward. Having a crush can be fun, but like I indicated above, it can be quite complicated.
So, partially inspired by Glee and partially just by my own brilliant thoughts (ha!) I'm deciding to NOT focus on Valentine's Day this year, and just embrace this time God has given me to be single. Yeah, sometimes it's not as fun, but other times it's wonderful! =]
