Teenage Crushes

You don't know what to call it. Is it love? It doesn't feel like love, not exactly. It's like something delicate, which you don't have words for yet.

It starts with a glance—maybe they look at you for a second too long, or you catch their smile from across the room. At first, it's a little confusing. You don't know why your chest tightens, why you can't stop thinking about them. It's like something's waking up inside you, but you can't explain it.

You start noticing all the little things about them. The way they laugh, the way they move, the way their voice sounds when they speak. Everything they do feels important, even if it's something small.

Then comes the wondering. Do they notice you? Do they feel the same way? You're not sure. Every time they walk past you, your heart races, but you don't know why. It's confusing. You want to talk to them, but when you try, your words get stuck in your throat. You think about writing them a note, but what would you even say? What if they laugh, or what if they don't feel the same way? The thought makes you nervous, so you stay quiet, letting your feelings stay hidden.

There's so much uncertainty. But there's something beautiful about that uncertainty. It makes you feel alive in a way you can't explain. You don't need answers, not yet. You don't need anything big to happen. Just the thought of them, just the brief moments you see them, are enough for now.

You don't want things to change too fast. You're not ready for anything serious. You just want to stay in this moment, this quiet space where everything feels possible, but nothing has to happen. You want to keep it simple, pure, and just a little bit secret.

Teenage crushes are like that. They don't need to be answered or explained to be real. They're small, soft moments that make your heart feel something you've never felt before—the beginning of knowing what falling in love feels like.

In the end, it doesn't matter if anything happens. Maybe it fades, maybe it grows, or maybe it stays exactly where it is—just a memory of a feeling that made you smile for no reason at all. And that's okay. Because for a little while, that crush made everything feel a little brighter, a little more alive.

Janis Joplin, “Piece Of My Heart”, 1968. "Piece of My Heart" is a romantic soul song written by Jerry Ragovoy and Bert Berns, originally recorded by Erma Franklin in 1967. The song gained popularity when "Big Brother and the Holding Company", with Janis Joplin on lead vocals, covered it in 1968. Until her death in 1970, "Piece of My Heart" was Joplin's biggest chart hit and best-known song.

You know that "all intense obsessive love"? The one most, if not all, of us crave? I understand that the main reason we want it is simply because we fear people losing interest in us or giving up on us, but I've started to realise that there is something so much more profound in the slower love, the gentle love, the slow burn love, big fires always burn out faster, and then we're left only with Ash of our once "all consuming love" I don't want obsession if it means I'll be left alone and worse then before. I will take the gentle hand of a kind lover before I burn again for a ghost of obsession

You're out on the streets looking good

And baby, deep down in your heart, I guess you know that it ain't right

Never, never, never hear me when I cry at night

Babe, and I cry all the time

But each time I tell myself that I, well I can't stand the pain

But when you hold me in your arms, I'll sing it once again

I said come on, come on, and take it

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby

Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby

Well, you know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good

Big Brother and the Holding Company and Janis Joplin

Bringing Addison back for one single episode and then sending her off again is like giving crack to a crackhead who'd just quit cold turkey last week
