and even though it’s experienced through a chemical reaction in your brain it doesn’t mean it’s any less valid or meaningful.  As I’ve said it elevates chemistry rather than denigrating love, and how and why are not the same thing (like we know a car uses an internal combustion engine but like that doesn’t cover why you’re driving or make rushing to the hospital to give birth any less joyful and what not).  However, it is a chemical reaction, and it is important to note that when you’re first falling in love… you’re sorta high out of your mind on dopamine and oxytocin and all sorts of shit and so you need to remember you’re sorta not  sober and so just… be careful?  Y’ know?  Like how when you’re going to the bathroom when you’re kinda drunk you’re extra careful to make sure you’re not dipping your dress/scarf/etc in the toilet bowl, and you triple check to make sure you don’t have toilet paper on your shoe when you leave?

Yeah, treat the first blush of love like that.
