    since feeling is first
    who pays any attention
    to the syntax of things
    will never wholly kiss you;

    wholly to be a fool
    while Spring is in the world

    my blood approves,
    and kisses are a better fate
    than wisdom
    lady i swear by all flowers. Don’t cry
    —the best gesture of my brain is less than
    your eyelids’ flutter which says

    we are for each other: then
    laugh, leaning back in my arms
    for life’s not a paragraph

    And death i think is no parenthesis

    -- ee cummings

      Nope. Tho that might be years of others conditioning me to believe I was unlovable, then social doings became harder cause I was done with school

      Found one.

      There are plenty of people who felt the same way you do but it doesnt have to be a macro thing. Am I lovable? What a crazy thing to say. Have I been loved? I love you. I dont love anything specific about you, obviously, but when I look out into the world I want you to be safe, and cared for, and healthy. Thats love.

      Thats macro. Micro comes from within. Its wired into your body, generally speaking.

          Ah the infinite loop.

          Some lyrics should help.

          Should I try to hide

          The way I feel inside

          My heart, for you?

          Would you say that you

          Would try to love me too?

          In your mind

          Could you ever be

          Really close to me?

          I can tell the way you smile

          If I feel that I

          Could be certain, then

          I would say the things

          I want to say tonight

          But 'til I can see

          That you'd really care for me

          I will dream

          That someday you'll be

          Really close to me

          I can tell the way you smile

          If I feel that I

          Could be certain, then

          I would say the things

          I want to say tonight

          But 'til I can see

          That you'd really care for me

          I'll keep trying to hide

          The way I feel inside

          Just recognize it and break the cycle.

              Personally, I think Heinlein said it best: "Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

              Love is also a choice that you need to make every day.

              Next week my wife and I will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. I love her more now than I did back then.

                          Its a cycle. You can break it at any point. You might need to quit dreaming.

                                Do you know what love is? A chemical. Electrons in your brain sending signals. Are you familiar with Ophiocordyceps unilateralis? It's a fungus that infects ants. It's amazing, really. The spores take over their central nervous systems and force them to climb to a high point, and then the fungus begins to grow up, bursting from the tops of their heads like a branch. And it kills them, of course. All so it can spray new spores over the jungle, infecting more ants. When people say love, that's what I think of.

                                  Good thing cordyceps can't survive in humans due to our higher body temperature.

                                    I like Zizeks idea of love being a violent event. Check the yt video by Julian de madeiros which should explain the idea.

                                    You could also read/ listen to zizek talk about it

                                        Ok, ok, I see. There are other forms of love other than romantic love, tho. And the lyrics arent exclusively romantic.
