The nice thing about being a person who has had many unrequited crushes is that I know those feelings will eventually mellow out and fade away.
Like, the first couple of weeks after realizing "oh shit I have a crush on this person" can be really intense. But instead of getting frustrated with myself for having those feelings, or the other person for not having them, I patiently wait for the day when I realize the crush has faded and I move on.
I just wish I had realized this way back in high school lol.
