Subject: IMAGINE Magazine Question for 6/15

As I get older, I often look back at some of what I thought I was clear about when I was a kid and realize, maybe I wasn't seeing as clearly as I thought I was. This is especially true about some of the friendships I've had.

Now granted, my childhood may or may not be representative of a normal childhood of the late 70's and early 80's but I do know that many of my best friends of the time were absolutely more than just friendships. Crush is the term I feel fits best although thanks to a couple of older friends, I had a few fun activities that I really wanted to share with some of them because I saw them as more than just friends. I had no term for it back then but remember having a couple of friends that I simply couldn't get close enough to. But, were they just friendships with someone I was close enough to for that kind of "play" to be okay or, were they actually full on crushes? Either way, I got some pretty amazing memories and stories out of it all.

What about for you? Did you have a friend that looking back to it really was a crush? Did you think you had a crush that turned out to just be a close friendship? Did you even know the difference back then? 💜
