Crushes

Hands sweating? Cheeks getting red? Feeling shy? Tongue tied? Are these mixed emotions bothers you whenever you see him/her. You must be having a crush on that person, kid.

I have this new friend. She's sweet, pretty, and cool. But what I like best about her is the way she giggles and laugh whenever her crush is around. She feels happy whenever she sees him but definitely pretends to ignore his presence. Weird isn't it?! Actually she's not the only one experiencing these kinds of emotions, I think almost everybody does, including me.

Why do we have crushes? Why do we adore someone we have just met? Why do we go crazy on hunky actors and sexy actresses? Or why do we feel uncomfortable when there's no reason to? Crushes are basically normal. It's part of a human life cycle. It's the stage where we come to discover how it feels to like another person. It gives us mixed emotions cause we really don't know how to react with it. Usually arises during puberty period and may extend until adulthood. It's an awkward feeling but we absolutely cradle it.

No matter if your crush is a celebrity, a classmate, a schoolmate. Or maybe your next door neighbor, or your school teacher. It's absolutely fine and what you're feeling is just normal. The next time you see your crush, try to smile at him/her, maybe he'd/she'd smile back. You'll never know until you do so.
