If you’re feeling left out, that’s because you are. This is about them, not you.
Crushes often fill specific roles. Lust. A wicked sense of humor. Maybe they were there for us at a point in our life when we needed someone. That doesn’t make them full-time partner material, and we know that. It means we enjoy having that person in the world.
My favorite quote is, "I fall in love a little with everyone who shares their soul." In this age of Twitter and rage and loneliness, we need more of that. Crushes keep us human.
