"i touched on this a little in another one of these puzzles (if you haven't found it yet, too bad), but for a while i missed how crushes 'used to be'. i missed the games, the secretiveness, and the shenanigans. i think i was just in a funk. those things still happen... but only for people who actually put themselves out there. people who make themselves vulnerable. last year, i never did that. i mean, hiding who you have a crush on behind a wall of puzzles isn't exactly emotionally mature, but y'know, at least it's an improvement from never telling anyone anything, haha.
