I have the '50 day challenge list' bookmarked from a few different places, and some of the questions vary slightly depending on which website they are hosted on. This is one of them, some say letter, some say photo. I think I'll start with a letter and see how I get on.
Dear Secret Crush
I am a simple being who is swept away by the simple things in life. An innocent compliment, question or smile is all it takes to stir the butterflies in my stomach. I am amazed how oblivious you are to my obvious reactions, my heart races so fast the whole world should be able to hear it, and yet you stand next to me, in that friendly kind of way, and kindly do nothing, just smile...
I shouldn't be attracted to you, you aren't my type, but theres something exciting and wrong about you that makes me think you would be good for me. I do not know you well, I've seen you maybe...a handful of times, but I feel like I know exactly how being with you would be like. I imagine everything would be turned upside-down with spontinaety, mischief and fun, but I would feel like I was really starting to live, like I had finally been set free from all my current confinements and I can really feel again.
I know that if you read this, and it wasn't handed to you by me, that you would have no idea who I am, I have never made myself known to you, we don't share anything apart from precious moments, and because of this I shall carry on only drifting around wishing I had some sort of courage to let you know how I feel. I am just a ghost that wonders through the halls of one miniscule part of your life and I just hope that I have left somesort of imprint to show that I was there, and existed, for a short time.
I would hope that if you did read this it would inspire you to smile often, and smile well, with your whole being. You have an amazing smile, it's what attracted me to you in the first place, and it may just be the thing that gives me the confidence to share my thoughts with you, and if nothing else, feel satisfied that I didn't play out the rest of my life never knowing if you maybe, just possibly, felt the same.
I don't think I want to include a photo, I never know what would be appropriate. If you were trying for the advances of somebody, you would hope that they will love you exactly how you are, not how well you can edit yourself. I feel like I would want to spend ages making sure my hair and complexion were perfect, that I was wearing something flattering and that the lighting was perfect to enhance all my features, yet that isn't who I really am, so I would be sending a farse, and who wants to start a relationship on fallacy? Something so important should be easy, true, happy and natural, not contrived, hard work and designed.
