Every time I develop a crush on someone, I have to convince myself that, no matter how they feel about me, I just want to be friends. One reason I want to be friends is that I want to step out of my comfort zone and enjoy other people’s company. Another reason is that I might meet someone I’ll date through my friends. The most important thing to me at this stage of my life is to grow my bubble and step out of my comfort zone like everyone else has been.
