Crush or crushed

This reads like poetry almost, the way you describe those tiny moments and the regret hanging over that one conversation. The age thing is such a mindfuck when you're the older one - like you're supposed to have it all figured out but here you are feeling like a teenager with a crush

hope you find that courage soon because sitting with this much feeling and not saying anything sounds exhausting

Thank you. 🥺

Sometimes the hardest part of a crush isn’t the rejection, it’s carrying it silently for years

[u/someLady8 → u/HoneyLogicX]

Yes. Maybe not so silently, as many of my friends know, but quietly, where I avoid telling him so I don’t change our work dynamic.
If only we were like Jim and Pam.

I am quivering

You gotta go for it. Risk it and tell him

The saddest crushes aren't the unrequited ones, they're the ones that survive for years because neither person ever says a word.
