We all have our own ideas of what love is, but it’s never really as simple as it’s made out to be. Supposedly, you fall in love and everything magically works out. Okay, so maybe it does in one of those Hallmark romance movies at Christmas, but for the rest of us, it’s a little…
When you have a crush, it feels like you’re going to be head-over-heels forever, which is fun when there’s a chance of becoming something more.
