Love drug

How does one explain hyper fixation in our brains of a specific event of person, especially when you like someone. When you close your eyes all you think about is them, during the day you catch yourself glancing at your phone - wondering if you’ve gotten a message (and mostly, you don’t). When you’re at the same events you’re trying to catch a glance of them. 

Most people have experienced this feeling, but mostly when they were a teenager. You’d be texting each other all night, knowing you shouldn’t cause you’d miss out on your sleep - but it was an addiction that could not be turned off. Who knew you could experience this in your late twenties? Not me! 

And what does this mean? Can one simply cut it out of their life or is this puppy kind of love a good thing? 

If love is like a drug, why does it also feel like a warm hug?

Just me, a cup of coffee, and a thought I can’t shake.

What’s yours?
