you FALL in love = you lose control. very smart

[@thijsjong]

Am I the only one who does not like falking in love. The relation is always impossible ltr married lesbian etc. And it gave me palpitations and cardiac arithmia and insomnia. Exhausting.
Dangerous and violent in the sense that it slowly pummels yourself. I would prefer not to.
I do not recomment it.

⁠I feel your pain. It’s awful. Everything gets sweet and colours bright. The sunlight flowing everywhere like honey on the wound of the world. The incontrollable dumb smile at the mere thought of her. The panic at the thought of her touching your hand by mistake- and your heart feasting on its memory like a beggar who feasts on a piece of mouldy bread found in the back alley dumpster. The horror when you realise there’s something terribly wrong with your heart that spontaneously sings and dances and writes poetry.
Definitely not. I recommend you read some neurobiology literature that very scientifically explains all that malarkey in terms of brain juices. Also, have a look at the AI replicating emotions and try some coding (falling in love is an instance of Beauty hacking your system). Failing all that, if you still can’t get rid of the feeling of terrible awe, you may wish to try some Freud and CG Jung to understand that it’s just your mind archetypically fooling itself. That shit is the best because it puts you in the driver’s seat and rationalise the shit out of any little wonder (it’s a sort of psychoanalytical enema).
Persist- you will, eventually, immunise yourself against that disease called ‘love’. Good luck.

All the fidgeting hypnotizes me to the point I feel like I had brain trauma and I forgot the last 5 minutes and eight seconds of life...

Self improvement is masturbation, now self destruction…
