When you have a crush, that person takes your breath away. It’s the boy or girl in your chemistry class, the guy or gal living next door, the coworker on your team, or even a celebrity you follow on Instagram. Your heart pounds, your hands become sweaty, and you’re constantly thinking of them. You fantasize about spending time with them and dream about what it would be like if you could. The only problem is, your crush isn’t going to be your soulmate, so you have to put a stop to the fantasy before it becomes an obsession.

Crush, a new Hulu comedy starring Rowan Blanchard as sapphic protagonist Paige, examines the way that crushes can interfere with your life in a variety of ways. When the film opens, Paige is passionately clinging to her fifth-grade crush on Gabriela “Gabby” Campos while juggling an admissions essay for the art school of her dreams and trying to find her platonic love, the graffiti artist known only as KingPun. Paige’s open-minded, supportive mother Angie (played by Megan Mullally) helps pave the way by casting a spell on Gabby and gifting her cool intimacy swag.

But no one knows exactly what a crush is, and it can be very difficult to define. One encapsulating lay definition describes it as “a secret, deep feeling of desire for someone whom you find very attractive and extremely special but with whom you have low or no chance at all of being a couple.”

There are also more scientifically accurate explanations, including the idea that when you have a crush, your hormone levels change. Your body produces serotonin, which is a mood stabilizing chemical, and the more you interact with your crush, the higher your serotonin levels will be. When your crush sees you, they can tell by your expression, the way you move your hands, and the sound of your voice that you like them.

The reason that a crush is so hard to define is because it can be fleeting. You might not have a crush for very long, or maybe you’ll have several throughout your life at different stages. But regardless of when or how you develop a crush, it’s important to remember that it is only a small part of your life and should be enjoyed for the momentary excitement and self-esteem boost that it provides.

Ultimately, having a crush is fun because it allows you to take a step back from your real-world problems and imagine what it might be like to be with that person. You’ll still have to do your homework, show up for work, and clean your house — but that is the price you pay for allowing yourself to get lost in your own little crush bubble. As for those romantic or sexual feelings, that’s another story altogether. In fact, studies have shown that having a crush is often linked to negative outcomes in your primary relationship.

Love is a universal feeling that everyone has experienced at least once in their lives. It’s an intense emotion that makes your heart go pitter-patter and it is the reason why people want to spend their entire lives with the person they love. But defining love is hard because it’s such a personal experience. There are countless words that can describe it, but no one word is going to capture its full essence. Many people also have different ideas about what love is, and that’s okay. There are plenty of groups that focus on love and relationships. They can help you if you’re having trouble with your relationship, and you can find support from others who are going through similar situations.

When you’re in a relationship, there will be days when you don’t feel all mushy-gushy in love with the person you are with. Sometimes, you might even wake up and think, “Ugh, I’m glad that I’m still here.” That’s okay, too. Just remember that the good times will come back again and stick with it. In time, you will look at that person and a giant wave of love will inundate your heart. You’ll love them so much that you feel like your heart is going to explode. This is the type of love that you should strive for, and it’s well worth the effort.

If you haven’t found the right person yet, it might be hard to explain what you’re looking for in a partner. But it’s important to remember that you can still be loved and fulfilled without a romantic relationship. You can be loved by your friends, family members and pets, and those relationships are just as important as any romantic ones.

There are groups centered around all kinds of things, from drug addiction to love, and they can be a great place to meet other people who have the same problems as you. They can give you advice and support, and they may also have events that can bring you together. You can also get support in your community from other groups that are focused on specific topics, such as surviving violence or living with a major illness.

Some scientists and sociologists have attempted to understand love, but it’s not a concept that can be easily defined or understood. There are theories about attraction and likability, but there’s no one answer as to why you fall in love with someone.

There are some who believe that love is an instinctive biological response, influenced by hormones such as oxytocin and neurotrophins. Other people believe that love is more a cultural and social phenomenon, based on beliefs and perceptions about what it means to be in a loving relationship. Still others view it as a mixture of companionate and passionate love. Movies often show examples of this type of love, such as George McFly throwing a punch at Biff Tannen in Back to the Future. This is a strong and powerful form of love that helps people overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
