]]> Comment on Hump Day Crush: Ten Years, Plus Another Five by Amy http://www.withoutbeingcrushed.com/2008/01/24/hump-day-crush-ten-years-plus-another-five/#comment-126 Amy Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:33:56 +0000 http://www.withoutbeingcrushed.com/2008/01/24/hump-day-crush-ten-years-plus-another-five/#comment-126 I've so very recently learned how to love someone from afar. I have noticed the people that may not be close to me physically are the people I rely on the most emotionally. I can call on a friend, or crush and know that I have a few stolen moments in time with that person,possibly without them knowing how much I totally "crush" on them. Both parties can enjoy each others conversation and I can revel in the fact that in high school this never would have happened. Back then I wanted to blend as much as possible. I didn't want any one to know who I liked, for fear of being noticed in return. If I was noticed, people might see my pain. The pain of an abusive childhood that held very little time for things like crushes and childhood friendships. Those friendships that I did have, I am lucky to say are the reason I am alive today. Those bonds I was able to form, are what made me the strong, loving, deeply devoted person I have grown to become......no matter what silly things may occur, no matter what heart ache I will have to endure.

Now, while I am far from telling or even suggesting to other people how to live their lives, I encourage You to read the book "No More Mr Nice Guy" by Robert Glover, before You choose to publish Your own. In my opinion, that book deals quite well with the topic of relationships, not only those of a sexual nature. I believe that You may be missing a piece of the puzzle, and maybe Glover's book would shed some light on this, for lack of a better term, problem. I'm not hating! Take care, P.

This is kind of a prelude to many other stories... most of which happened in high school. So I grouped it in with the rest for the sake of being complete. Not any of this.

Sometimes I think the cardiovascular system can't handle those sorts of heart palpitations, adrenaline rushes, etc.! “Physiologically speaking, they do great things to us. That flutter in your chest.

I talked. I always talk. Sometimes it gets in the way. It’s a result of perceived pressure–a release of nervous energy. When your a guy in high school, there’s a lot of both to go around. Especially where girls are involved. Even more so if you’re awkward to begin with. Social outcast? Triple the amount. Had to recently break someone’s heart and still didn’t understand why? You can’t even measure that. [...] […] Me? I talked. I always talk. Sometimes it gets in the way. It’s a result of perceived pressure–a release of nervous energy.
