LM: #314: Creative crushes
Have you ever had a crush?
Even if you started a relationship with your crush, you’d have to share household chores and discuss bills. In the best-case scenario you get old and one of you dies.
Creative crushes are the same. You can fantasize about writing your memoir or opening a cafe, but if you actually did it, it wouldn’t be as great as you had imagined.

So it’s more comfortable to imagine being with your crush than to tell them how you feel. It’s more comfortable to imagine pursuing your creative crush than to risk failure, or maybe just as bad, success.
Crushes and creative crushes are dangerous because when you have them, some part of your heart or mind is marked “taken.” You can’t take action on one thing when you’re already committed to another.
The sooner you try to turn your crush into something real, the sooner you can leave your fantasy world and make contact with reality.
Book: Portnoy’s Complaint (Amazon) is a lewd tour of one man’s id.
Cool: Overnight Glasses has higher-quality frames than Zenni. Oh, and they’re fast.
Best,
David
P.S. It’s my birthday week, which is a great time to support on Patreon at the $5 level and enjoy a bonus video/podcast where I preview my book.
