Oops, I Messed Up! But Now I’m Ready to Crush Again!

Hey there! So, Joshua is out of the picture, and guess what? I'm kind of over him! Usually, I hate all this love and crush stuff, but now I'm actually kinda excited to fall in love! Yep, weird, right? I made some goof-ups with Joshua, but I’m gonna remember them so I don’t mess up next time. Wanna know what I did wrong? Check it out:

• Ignoring my feelings for him (yeah, dumb move)
• Telling him we could only be friends (ouch)
• Acting like romantic stuff didn’t happen (like, hello?)
• Pretending I didn’t care or like him (wink, nope)
• Trying to hide my feelings (spoiler: everyone saw through it)
• Not telling him how I felt sooner (facepalm)
• Biggest blunder: being scared my mom would freak out if she found out

If a new guy comes along, I’m totally gonna love smarter and dodge these mistakes. Mom’s not cool with me dating, but hey, it’s all good if we both say yes, right?

Oh, and btw, all the boys I know right now? Kinda cringe. But hey, that’s middle school for ya! I’m 12, in 7th grade, and ready for the next adventure. Catch you later!
