💖 Advice If You Ever Had a “Weird” Crush

(you know the one… don’t lie 💅)

Let’s just get this out of the way:

If you grew up in the 00s…
you probably had a crush that made absolutely NO sense.

A cartoon character.
A puppet.
A fictional villain.
Someone you now look back at like…

“oh.”


🌀 1. You weren’t weird… you were exploring

Crushes aren’t always about the person.

Sometimes they’re about:

  • feelings
  • curiosity
  • imagination

Your brain was just… figuring things out.


🎧 2. It probably felt VERY real at the time

And that matters.

Even if now you’re like:
“why did I think that???”

At the time?

It was:
✨ exciting
✨ comforting
✨ yours

And that’s valid.


💭 3. Your imagination was doing the heavy lifting

Let’s be honest…

Half the crush was:

  • scenarios you made up
  • personality traits you invented
  • full-on storylines in your head

You basically wrote fanfiction… emotionally.


👜 4. It might have been a comfort thing too

Especially if life felt a bit confusing.

A “weird” crush can be:

  • safe
  • controlled
  • predictable

No rejection. No pressure. Just vibes.


🤍 5. You’re allowed to laugh about it now

Growth looks like:

“why was I like this 😭”

But also:

“that was actually kind of sweet.”


🌿 6. It doesn’t define you

What you liked at 9, 13, or 16?

That’s not your identity now.

It was just a moment. A phase. A tiny chapter.


💖 The truth?

Having a “weird” crush doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.

If anything, it means:

  • you feel deeply
  • you imagine vividly
  • you connect in your own way

And honestly?

That’s kind of beautiful.

“Babes, if your first crush wasn’t a little questionable…
did you even grow up properly???” 💖✨
