Have you been smiling at your phone lately? Have you been in a chipper mood for no apparent reason? Do you find yourself suddenly caring about what you're wearing to a function you would normally attend in your emotional-support sweatpants? If so, I regret to inform you: you might be suffering from "having a little crush." And by suffering, I obviously mean thriving.
There is something elite about having a crush. No, not a situationship, a spiral, or what you feel when you get back together with your ex for the 100th time. Not even a "where is this going" type of thing. Just a little crush. A spark, a microdose of delusion. The kind of situation where one normal interaction replays in your head like it was Oscar-worthy dialogue.
Crushes make life feel cinematic. You carry yourself differently. You romanticize mundane things, like playlists and going to the grocery store.
And the best part? A little crush is free. It doesn't even have to go anywhere. It only requires as much emotional labor as you want to give it. It's serotonin with a face attached.
In this economy? I'll take it.
Double Dog Dare You: This weekend, romanticize one completely normal interaction and don't overthink it. It's just a little crush!
