CRUSHES

We all know what a crush is, and we all know what having a crush is like. A crush is supposed to be this amazing euphoric thing. You have something to wake up for in the morning/you look forward to seeing them/the excitement you feel when he/she texts you first…we are now approaching the worst one of all. The potential soul crushing hope that he/she might possibly like you back. Yep. We’ve all been there.

I’m 25 years old and am still crushing. I currently have a crush on someone who is completely out of my reach, not because he’s better than me, not because he’s cooler than me, not because we don’t have any chemistry and not because he doesn’t like me back. He’s out of reach because he already has a girlfriend. No wonder they call it a crush, when I heard him say “my girlfriend and I…” in a sentence to another person, I felt crushed. Completely and totally crushed. It left me feeling glum and almost ruined my entire day! Having a crush on someone doesn’t seem like a big deal, it could almost come across as school girl behaviour, but when something like that happens, it can make you feel awful and even reduce you to tears. You know what just makes it so much worse? I see him every day.

And now you have to deal with the next morning. You feel so flat and no longer have anything to look forward to. Why bother dressing up just for him? Why should I be careful with my makeup? And why the fuck should I wash my hair each night so it’s nice and shiny for him?

No more butterflies.

The bad thing about getting a crush on someone in your mid twenties is that usually at this age, they’re already taken. I mean for god’s sake, half my year from school are already married I’m just like

God give me strength

10 Simple Struggles

We all have those freakin’ annoying moments in life. I prefer to call them colossal catastrophes. Or an abomination of devastation.

• Lipgloss and long hair on a windy day
• Straightened hair on a wet day
• A pair of heels one size too big
• ~Daring~ necklines and strapless bras
• Tangled headphones
• The sound of a mosquito in bed
• Being on top while having sex, with no hair elastic
• Low phone battery while in bed, with no charger
• “You can skip this ad in 30 seconds”
• “You must register to continue”

These obviously don’t have to apply to your life. I have a friend who from time to time enjoys having low battery, this means she won’t “waste her time” aimlessly flicking through her apps and then back again. Getting my hair stuck in my lip gloss makes my blasted eye twitch. Why don’t you grab a chunk of my hair and just glue it to my face. This is all the same as getting stuck in an elevator with another person. You were looking forward to some “me time” and then that stupid person turned your “me time” into your own personal hell. Suddenly, you become angry at that person and they didn’t even do anything wrong. What is happening to me.

As for tangled headphones – they can go fuck themselves.
