A crush is what I have. It's rather large actually. It's a crush on someone precious and beautiful and sweet and yet I know they have a rough streak to them. All of this and more. We're still getting to know each other, but it's some of the best times I've had so far, aside from what I do. I am really happy right now. I just wish I could let them know without being afraid that it would ruin what we have already.

[sheng]

Do you have any reason to think it might ruin what you already have?

On a scale from very to not at all, how obvious is my crush on you?

[sheng]

Do I make your life difficult?

[anonymous]

Am I that easy to figure out?

[sheng]

I was hazarding a guess.

[anonymous]

Everything here is a crush. Why aren't there any stories?

[sheng]

Tell me a story.

There is a man. Living on a mountaintop. Searching, ever searching. He doesn't know what for, but the search is compelling.
Looking down from his clifftop peaks, he wonders at the rocks below. Tossing things down creates a beautiful, cracking, slamming, thudding symphony. He also wonders what his body would sound like, against those rocks.
The searching, yearning desires in his heart lead him over the edge one morning. There is no cracking, thudding symphony. There is only a snapping, of eyes suddenly awake, a thudding of a heart beating too hard for sleep.

It is certainly dangerous... To fall. Or do you enjoy the feeling?

It's always standing back and looking in, that you can see the amazing complexities that make a human unique. We can all have shared experiences, but our decisions and attitudes toward them are what make us individual. Standing back and looking at you, in my position, I feel you. I feel who you are and I feel who you are capable of being. That's exciting. Being able to watch you manifest and hoping it's for the better, each time you shed an old skin. I'm a proud friend and I believe in you.

Don't forget how amazing you are. Don't let anyone squash your capabilities so that they can better themselves. Don't let people use your kindness without giving back when you're in need. Be strong, smile and create happiness. Those are my wishes and prayers for you.

[sheng]

I will treasure these words. Thank you.

[anonymous]

You're welcome.
