What I don't understand are crushes. Yes, you're attracted to someone, you want to make them laugh, you want to see their smile, they're almost constantly on your mind. Crushes can be developed from friendship or a crush can instantly come up in one single moment. There can be reasons as to why you have feelings for that person or you can't. Someone could have a crush on a total - they wouldn't know how or why, they just do. He's mean to you, maybe he lives on the other side of the world, his beliefs don't match up with yours, he doesn't think like you, maybe you don't even know him, never even talked to him, but he gives you these damn butterflies that you just can't seem to get rid of.

Then there are people that are just so thoughtful and wonderful and nice. You think they are attractive, they treat you with respect, make you laugh, and you wonder how someone so lovely could exist but you aren't attracted to them in anyway. Your feelings are platonic. You cannot exactly force a crush, either, it just doesn't happen like that.

The human mind is a complex thing, let's not even speak of feelings. Sometimes you don't even realize your own feelings until it's too late or someone makes you see. Sometimes you might think it's a crush but it's simply adoration or a small flutter of infatuation, but you don't like them that way.

Crushes are frustrating as hell.
