"You've got to be kidding!!!"
So this friend of mine is telling me how she really likes this dude but she can't hang out or communicate with him on a consistent basis due to a severe case of bad nerves. She goes on to tell me how this guy makes her feel like a school girl with a childish crush. She confesses that she is accustomed to associating with guys who constantly boost her confidence and make her feel in complete control of the situation at hand. This guy on the other hand, apparently has his act together and therefore he unnerves her.
Is it just me or is that pretty odd? I would give my last Yuengling to be in her shoes. I believe that we should relish rare opportunities to experience nostalgic feelings (like the ones birthed by innocent infatuation). I told her that if it were me, I'd grab hold (of the opportunity) with both hands and ride the wave until the tide subsided. Sometimes we allow our self-esteem (or lack thereof) to hinder golden opportunities. The older I get, the more I appreciate those things that re-connect me with the unparalleled fanciful moments from my childhood. The treasures of growing older are indeed a privilege. We should be thankful for wisdom and maturity, indeed. Now ask me if I'm willing to pass up an opportunity to experience youthful jubilance, one last time. Best believe my reply will be something along the lines of ... "Are you kidding me? Hell to the nah". But hey, that's just my take on the situation. What is yours?

I am sitting here pondering over your question, because I am not really sure how to respond. See...back when I was a school girl, crushes were cute. I had a crush on the captain of the football team, but didn't think I was good enough or pretty enough to get him. It was cute to smile real big when I passed him in the hallway and hoped that he noticed me. Now my crushes have turned into untouchable celebrities in the industry, just for dreaming purposes. I call it a crush because I really don't think there is a possibility of me ever coming in contact with them. But....If I ever did come in contact with them, I want to believe that at this point in my life, I would be confident in my approach and accept what comes if it doesn't work the way I thought. I am much more confident now, then I was in grade school, and feel that if my crush does not want me then it is his loss. That's just me.
