I recently experienced the strangest and rarest of things – a midlife crush | Shanti Nelson

Extreme giddiness, sudden bliss, unexplained friskiness: was this a new strain of Covid?

An adult crush is such an elusive creature, like a snow leopard or a rare bird that you know exists but never see. I'm not talking about a celebrity or a musician crush, or in the case of my friend's 24-year-old daughter, I get crushes all the time, Shanti, on TikTok."

On TikTok?!" Good grief.
