Love Sickness

Love sickness. Stomach cramps/bad case of the butterflies, hot flashes, chills, headache, depression, weeping/sobbing/crying uncontrollably, lack of appetite, a general yearning to hold on tight (physically, mentally, and emotionally) to whatever might bring comfort. Also, I recently read that love sickness leads to ear wrinkles. Weird. AL is grief stricken here, but also love sick. Being so close to having her life’s dream yet not close enough to actually obtain it. How excruciating! Love is wonderful - it is kind, it is beautiful, gentle, soul quenching, and it is life’s greatest gift...even if it makes you throw up sometimes 🤷‍♀️ This global pandemic has certainly resulted in or worsened some love sickness as some of us are being kept from those we love. If you are with your lover, hold on tight, and if you are away from her, cherish each sweet reminder of what you have waiting for you and then celebrate unabashedly when you are reunited.
