A crush stirs our stomach with nerves and insecurities, yet gives our life the sweetest of the perfect piece of candy. In our minds, we imbue the crush with fantasies of Target shopping and physical intimacy. When we are around them, we have the giddiness of hanging out store bought Valentines in elementary school. We hear them in the perfect pop song, or think about them when we feel the most alone. It can all be overwhelming, especially when we are too afraid to share our feelings.
