How did your high school crush turn out as an adult?

No ones gonna see this, but the only crush I've ever had last time I heard about them they were working towards getting some IT certs from an internship I graduated from with one of our mutual friends. Hopefully she's doing well, I understand these days that the reason I was interested is because we were both from super abusive and poor immigrant families and had gone through a lot in life. In her, I saw myself; and as a child who had gone through so much mentaland physical turmoil, the idea of someone my age who could relate to my struggles was overwhelming. Years later we ended up reconnecting through the mutual friend I had met at that internship and told each other that we had crushed on each other at the time. Funnily enough we were too afraid to say anything about it to each other, for pretty obvious reasons. The three of us have kind of drifted apart again as I've been dealing with some pretty rough health issues that have made me a bit reclusive over the last year or so, but I hope those two are doing it big wherever they are.
