Just a Crush, or True Love? is an essay series that began during my early high school years, the first two as classroom assignments, and blossomed into a personal project from there on. After a six-year hiatus, I wrote a sixth entry into the series and published it in 2009. Today I present to you "Just a Crush, or True Love? 7."
In this seventh iteration of the series, I ask this question: "What constitutes a perfect romantic relationship?" If you are expecting the obvious answers of compromise, compassion, and love, read on for a (hopefully) pleasant surprise.
Before getting to the essay, however, I will admit this: I do not like the direction that the Just a Crush, or True Love? series has taken since its fifth iteration. The initial four entries were light-hearted essays with no formal style or focus, intended mainly as a fun outlet for me to express a few ideas about love. With the fifth, sixth, and seventh entries I have followed a stricter style of writing and form, and I definitely feel like my writing has become stiffer and more rigid than before. While I still enjoyed writing "Just a Crush, or True Love? 7," I am confident that any future iteration of this series will be undertaken from a very different angle.
With out further delay, I present to you...
B3 out.
