My First Crush: A Story of Butterflies, Braces, and Broken Dreams 🦋😂

Ah yes, my first crush—a tale so dramatic it could rival a Bollywood blockbuster, complete with cringe-worthy moments and enough awkward silences to fill an entire film reel.

It all started in 6th grade when she walked into class like a scene from a fairy tale. With her two playful ponytails, oversized glasses, and a Doraemon pencil box that screamed “adorable,” my heart was instantly lost. 💘 Back then, I had no clue what “crush” really meant, but I would have traded my entire Tazo collection just to sit next to her during math class.

Every time she flashed that captivating smile, I forgot how to breathe. Each request for a pencil felt monumental—I would hand over my best one, only to spend the rest of the day mourning its loss like a true warrior. I even took my commitment to the next level by practicing writing her name beside mine… in cursive! At age 11, that’s serious dedication. 📝😅

Then came the day I decided it was time to confess my feelings. I crafted a note that read: “I like you. Do you like me too? Yes / No / Maybe.” I folded it with the precision of a ninja star and slipped it into her notebook, heart racing in anticipation. She read it, smiled, and then… circled “Maybe.”

That “Maybe” still haunts me to this day. 😂 But hey, it taught me my first lesson in love: sometimes you fall hard… and land face-first on the school playground.

So here’s to our first crushes—the brave beginnings of our emotional rollercoasters and the reason we now triple-check before sending any risky texts. 😄💔 Who knew that those butterflies could lead to such unforgettable memories?
