aware of how much fun it can be to have a crush, but also just need to say that it's essentially a form of torture for me. it's been over a year since i've really "crushed" on anyone, and lemme say, i could not be happier! there is no desire to date, or chase after a person. there is no longing, there is no wondering if they notice me. i've fallen in love with life without the need to desire! this is especially relieving as i only realized my identity around january last year. i am so distant from the idea of dating, it's genuinely so relieving. as happy as i am for all my friends, relationships seem somewhat exhausting. i guess i'm just grateful that i'm okay with being alone now, i used to fear the concept.
