Typical Teenage Crush
I'm a 15 year old girl and I'm having your average teenage live crisis, though mine is a bit more.... complex than most so try to pay attention to the whole story. Thanks in advance! Here we go: Ever since I was a baby, my family has moved around because of my dad's job (no we're not a military family); we've moved at least 7 times. Eventually, we settled down in Kansas for a few years. We stayed there from the time I was 9 or 10 to when I was 13, so I got really use to it. There was this boy that I liked as soon as we moved there when I was still in the fourth grade. We were really close until sixth grade, and even after that we were still pretty good friends. I still liked him even when we left Kansas to go to Nevada. So here I am in Nevada, and we've been here for a year and a half. When we first came here I thought about him a lot, but eventually I busied myself with unpacking, settling in, and the new boys here in Nevada and brushed him to the side. After we'd been here for about half a year, I started dating a guy named Kyle, but I dumped him because it didn't feel right because he was you-know-who. For the next ten months I was able to keep Jarrett (that's the boy from Kansas's name by the way) out of my mind, but now he's clouding my thoughts again. How do I get this boy out of my mind? I like (love?) him a lot, but we can never be together, so I need to get over it.

well if you really feel comfortable around him and you feel you have real feelings for him I say go for him I have been where are today and I really love him and he loves me we are happy and he never had the courage to tell me that so I say make the first move with my boyfriend I said "hey do you want to go out on Friday night and go to the lake?" he said "sure" now we are happy. so go for it sometimes we have to make the first move.

this is an example of how powerful our mind is. It can create a reality using your emotions from very little input. Now older, you understand a lot of what dating and a relationship needs to be good for both people. And you are not the exact same person you were in 4th grade for example. During older child and teen years, kids do an amazing amount of growing up and maturing but in reality, the mind is the last thing to fully come to adult maturity and be completely done growing at our mid twenties. However even so, since we change so drastically maturity wise and things we liked or ways we used to act no longer are, there's a great chance that the person in your mind you knew back then even wouldnt come close to the Jarret he is today. And theres no saying what could happen if a genie granted you 3 wishes what would happen if you could magically be with this guy again. Would he be all the same to you as he once felt or would it all be different. Even after 3 years not seeing a guy I used to date, when I saw him again and we went out to dinner to chat about old times, it was not the same, it all felt different and when he kissed me goodbye, i certainly didn't feel what I felt back then with him. I even wondered why I thought he was the best thing ever back then. hehehe. Time can change things. right now, you are in love with a memory. Yes, there are lots of people in love with memories, some to the point that in all things, they live in the past, comparing everything today to the past so that today can never match up because the past is Way better in their imaginations as they remember than it actually was and this prevents a person from living in current day time, we cant really 'be' in the present fully so we miss out on lots of things that 'could be' simply because we are living in the past. You can have good memories of him and no, they won't go away. But the hurt, the pain of the past fades as well as the strong good feelings. But memories never disappear unless you have an accident and you get amnesia or you get a disease like Alzheimers. You learn to understand what importance, or not, to place on your memories as you file them away in your mind and remember to live today for today and enjoy whomever you can find for romance and dating today. By time you are 18 and an adult, you won't have to be yanked around anymore and can settle in one place, go to college, and are old enough to get into a real serious relationship. And nothing your parents do will affect you in that way any longer. Until then, you will just have to cherish good memories of past places, people and experiences.
