The Importance of Taking Time Away From Yourself

We cannot control who we have crushes on. We cannot control how our feelings work, but you're doing the thing where you're not acting on those things in a way that's mean or outside of what you believe to be true about the world. Keep doing that absolutely and give yourself a little love for the fact that your heart is being stomped on because you like this guy and that's okay. And it doesn't make you a bad friend to need space from your friend to show up better in their life.
