Found my old diary and now I might have a crush situation on my hands

An anonymous post that starts sweet and ends chaotic. The poster has a childhood friend who's lived next door since birth — after school they'd always hang out at his place. One day they noticed a worn paper boat sitting on his desk and asked if he treasured it. He just nodded and smiled.

Fast forward to today: they're cleaning their room and find an old elementary school diary. Inside? An entry that says they folded a paper boat in art class and gave it to him. That dusty boat on his desk… yeah, it's almost definitely THE boat.

The poster wraps up with: 'Why has he kept it all this time…? I actually like him. Is it okay to have hope?'
