Ok, so on friday I had an idea, a revelation even. Due to my whatever-ness, if I focus on a person -who I find not ugly and not annoying- and brainwash myself by planting the thought in my head that I have a crush on them, my thoughts will manifest into reality. Now, since I have shunned procuring a partner at the moment due to academic pursuit, I have come to realize that I cannot do this experiment, because in doing so, I may break my mind. Which is why I have told some children my age my ideas. We have considered volunteers and may search for more. How the experiment works is that we find someone in the age range 11-17 (it's usually 11-12 as I am in the sixth grade) and ask their preferences. May turn out even better if the subject/volunteer is actively searching for a partner/falls easily. The preference that we ask from them IS NOT SPECIFIC. Perhaps something like 'I'd want a person with she/her pronouns (maybe even they/them) and I'd like if they'd shared the same interests and were a little weird.' That was a near exact quote from one of my colleagues/classmates. From then on, we pick a person that loosely fits their preference and would document them from a weekly basis. You may too also try this, but please do so with precaution.
sometimes my genius surprises me
