CRUSH

CRUSH..

Also defined as admiration.. but most commonly used as a term for “LIKING” someone... feeling happy and cheerfulevery time you hear that person’s name, being in total elation by a mere sight of this person even from afar and experiencing sheer bliss with just a slight glance from that person..

it’s amusing really how such a simple feeling for someone changes a person’s mood...from total control to total elation.. also known as “kilig” and from total boredom to a day full of bliss. ”kinumpleto nya ang araw mo”..and sometimes, faith just has its way of moving things that you actually get to talk with your crush..this incident would not only send goose bumps all over your spine, nor would it make your knees shiver and make you stutter but this would often lead to such a sensation that results to screaming at the top of your lungs out of pure happiness and “kilig” all because yourcrush talked to you..hehehe

when one gets attracted to another person, it’s not automatically Love.. it can be infatuation.. but most often its admiration or also known as CRUSH.. i remember one of my blog posts that explains how to get rid of this crush for someone through the law of diminishing marginal utility in economics. This explains that the degree of satisfaction, or in our Case, the degree of elation or “kilig” one gets from his or her crush lessens for every moment he or she gets to feed their longing to come across their crush.

BUT in this part of my entry, i would like to explain a drawback that i have found. it is that this law varies for every degree or intensity of admiration one feels for someone, in other terms, the law of diminishing marginal utility may just be applied to the lowest form of crush which is ..PUPPY LOVE.

Though the degree and intensity of feelings when one has a crush varies, one question lingers on my mind...why is it called CRUSH??.... after a few minutes of trying to decipher why this word was used, i’ve come up with a reasonable explanation as to why it was named that way...

CRUSH.. a certain feeling experienced due to admiration towards a person you like.. if prolonged would either result to falling in love or becoming obsessed. But either way, 90% would have an end point of being depressed, sad, and lonely. To further elaborate, “crush” when looked up in the dictionary would mean to pound, suppress, or to put down..along with this feeling of admiration a.k.a. crush as we call it, is the expectation , the longing and the continues wishing that one day that person whom you admire so much would take some time to notice you..BUT as the word itself means, this hope in you that longs for just a tiny bit of attention from your crush just got torn into billions of pieces.. resulting to a CRUSHed heart...//ouch!!//hehehe

Lastly, having a crush is not bad at all but its the expectation that screws everything up.., life isn’t always happy and cheerful and stuff.. its from the down right sad and disappointing moments that we learn.. so disappointed or not, happy or sad.. keep moving forward, you’ll never know what or who you’ll pass by as you move on..=)
