Love, I tell you, is not real.
It's a temporary figment of our imagination that seems so real we truly believe it's there.
But what is it really? It is no more than a reaction of chemicals inside our brain that we cannot touch, cannot see, cannot feel with anything but our hearts.
Love is not a thing but a way for our brains to put us in line. To control us. Without it, we would do unspeakable things. But can you hold love in your hand? Is it even really there? And when you feel you love one and will never love another, fret not, as it is not so.
At times it feels like there will be no end to the pain, but there will be. Love is only something we can't control unless we realize we have the power over our own hearts, over our own brains.
Our brains are a smaller part of us. They do not reign us but in fact the opposite.
It is when we tell our hearts that we're in control, we're the boss, can we begin to tell our **** emotions where to go.
