February 13th is Crush Day
February 13th is Crush Day, also known as Unrequited Love Day, on the eve of Valentine's Day in many countries. The date was created to honor those who have experienced one-sided love, that deep feeling for someone that is not reciprocated in the same way.
The Origin of Crush Day
Although the exact origin of the celebration is uncertain, the date has gained popularity in recent years with the help of social media, where millions of people share stories, memes and rants about their "crushes". The term "crush" refers to a passion or admiration for someone, often without that person being aware or sharing the same feelings.
The idea behind Crush Day is to embrace the lighter and more universal side of unrequited love, showing that it is part of the human experience to feel affection for someone, even when it is not reciprocated. The date also promotes a positive message: valuing self-love and moving forward.
