Atticus makes a good point. It makes me think about the realness of how blinding love can be. Whether it be love for a person, love for a place, love for food, love for shoes (and the list can go on), we can fall into an unending cycle. The chase for love could be a spiraling endeavor or a happy ending, but regardless how the ever after plays out, we have a front row seat to watch it all unfold. My life is crazy at the moment, so my love is devoted to getting enough sleep, having somewhat of a balanced meal at least once a day, and having a little self-care to prevent a stress fest from spewing from all of my deadlines and commitments. I barely have a social life, so the fact that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow has not even phased me in the least. So many things are happening all at once for me, and I love every minute of it, but let me tell you, from the outside looking in, the insanity of everything going on is the exact poison that love can be doused in. This probably sounds crazy, and to be honest, it more than likely is. But, when you think about it, whenever something is labeled to be dangerous or have that element of surprise, we innately chase the thrill. It does not matter to me that my schedule is less than ideal or that my social life is suffering at the moment. The thing that does matter to me is that the collision of my dreams and passions are quenching my thirst for love. I am head over heels with what is happening. I am taking the leap and diving into the next chapter of life. So while the rest of the happy love birds are celebrating with roses and chocolates tomorrow, I will be holding on tight to the vow I made to myself above anything else to make the most of this time in my life. I may be delusional to reality due to my sleep deprivation, but there will come the day when I can look back and celebrate life’s high. I only get one chance to do what I love, so I am going to drink it all up. And I have to admit; it sure tastes good to drink life’s love potion. Stay Curious, Kayla ©Inquisitive Perspectives 2017
