&quot;Maybe it&rsquo;s not always about love and boys. Maybe it&rsquo;s about the little crushes and flirts in between. It&#039;s the moments that are before the permanent that are the most beautiful, like when the sun&rsquo;s rising or when it&rsquo;s setting. Maybe those are the moments that are suppose to take your breath away.&quot;
