First love

Discuss your first love.

I always thought that discussing involved more than one person, hehehe, but I probably digress. My first “love interest”, or really big crush, happened in junior high. He was 2 years older than me and in my brother’s class/friends group.

I admired him for afar for a whole year and then at a festival I finally got up the nerve to talk to him and ask him if he would be my boyfriend. He wasn’t really interested in me that way and my crush crushed me. That experience was so painful that it took a really long time before I ever stepped out of my comfort zone again… And by really long time, I probably mean about a decade. I’m still learning to crawl out of my shell again, but I can’t blame all of that on him.

There have been other love’s after him, but that’s another story.
