I had plenty of limerent crushes that didn't come to anything. I'm actually grateful for that now though. They almost certainly would have ended in tears.
I would have liked to have climbed higher in my career but even that, I'm not so bothered about now.
That's partly why I feel confident in my reasoning to CTB at least. When there's nothing more you actually want that much in life, what's the point in sustaining it?
