I`ve been told before that a male who is in love (or thinks he is) has the same chemical reactions going on in his head as if he had just induced cocaine. Now I`m no drug expert… but I know that doing drugs such as cocaine (or any others for that matter) have a BAD effect on your brain. How can someone say that a “natural” chemical reaction within our brain is like a “damaging” chemical reaction??I`m totally confused by that.
I reckon that having a crush on someone is one of the worst experiences EVER… lol… Like seriously, you think about it. You Like a person (in my case a girl… thank goodness I`m a heterosexual) but you`re not sure if they like you… How freaking scary is that?? not to mention frustrating if they do like you!! If any of you are like me you aren`t all that careless with your heart, you don`t just trust anyone with it… And then someone comes along and you don`t even know if you can offer it to them. Coz you don`t know if they want to take it. AAAaaarrrrgggggghhhhhh…
Like i know I`ve written in previous blogs before about how the guy should show the girl she`s worth the risk etc… but dang its annoying!! I didn`t realize just how hard it would be.
The other side of the coin is, what if they aren`t interested? Quite often i`ve been interested in someone and thought to myself “oh yeh. they must be interested in me too…” and been completely wrong. I know guys have a tendency to flirt… badly… and chicks can often do the same. But then you come across a guy thats really subtle or a chick that doesn`t drop a single hint other than the fact that she talks to you. “do they?” “Don`t they?” its all too hard sometimes… I wish people just had a perfect partner with a matching birth mark or something, but then were would the love come into it? Where would the desire and attraction play apart in the relationship? If we`re all just paired off like a lot of countries do (no offense to you), how can there be that cocaine chemical reaction??
I say LOVE, in all its forms is beautiful. The feeling of appreciation, or affection, or even just acceptance is something worth fighting for. Worth taking risks for… In Jesus’ case, worth dying on the cross for.
I hope for you dear reader that you find this “cocaine”* in your life. By “cocaine” I mean love, affection, acceptance, appreciation, belonging, amor!!
peace
Yes. Being single is often torture. Especially in an environment where everyone is expecting you to get married asap (yikes), and those everyones are all in fabulous, good-looking, committed relationships themselves. Just think… if YOU have it so bad – what with your dashingly handsome looks, quick wit, sincerity, and friendly nature – imagine what the rest of the chumps in the world have to go through…
