When things get bad in our lives, it’s common to seek distractions.

If our school life is bad, we dive into recreational activities. If our home life is bad, we focus more on friends or school. If our relationships are bad… well, we do whatever we can to not

What I want to address is this whole notion of people feeling like they've wasted their time if a relationship doesn't work out. That's a bit naive, isn't it? We are changing all the time, and the condition and nature of our relationships plays a big part in how we evolve.

I don't think people ever waste time. They do, however, come out of some scenarios having had an absolutely enormous opportunity to learn something.

I shall conclude my mini-soapbox with a thorough appreciation of your statement:

Crushes are ephemeral things. Mostly, they speak to deficiencies we see in ourselves (holes we want to fill) or others (rough spots we’d like to see polished off).

My, my. I'd say you pegged it. ;-)
