Why Not Rant?

~ The Symptoms and Side-Effects of Falling In Love ~

Falling in love.

Honestly in my opinion one of the deadliest things a human can develop. Not only does it affect the mind, but it also affects the lungs, the tongue, and most importantly. . .

The heart.

But scientifically, it is not the heart that controls a human's emotions and feelings. It is the hypothalamus. Scientifically, the heart is a hollow, empty muscle that contracts and relaxes, pumping blood into the nerves, arteries, and veins of the body. So scientifically, you are not to say "I love you with all my heart", but "I love you with all my hypothalamus." Which, of course, is kind of weird, which is why nobody sane really uses it today(unless you're scientist couples). The hypothalamus is the seat of emotions and vibes felt in the brain transported throughout the body. Best get some science into action.

For a few minutes of your time I shall become a doctor and tell(rant) to you the symptoms and side-effects of falling in love.

Here goes nothing.

Symptoms of Falling In Love include the following:

1) Accelerated heartbeat
This is a common symptom that affects most, if not all, who are diagnosed with Falling In Love. It is characterized by the sudden rapid beating of your heart, which is a completely understandable symptom of Falling In Love. Surveys show that this most frequently happens when the object of Falling In Love is in near radar.

2) Shortness of breath
Though not a frequent sensation, you will feel as if you are grasping and gasping for air so much that it actually grows tiring, which is clearly not a normal condition upon normal circumstances. There will also be breath hitching and the need to catch for air especially when mouth-to-mouth contact(a.k.a. kissing) is involved.

3) Reddening of skin
For inexplicable reasons within the human body system, Falling In Love also has the symptom of the skin reddening. Though this symptom can also be found in other diseases, Falling In Love most often encounters this symptom through the uncontrollable flustering and blushing of cheeks, neck, nose, or any other common face to head area. Like the symptom of accelerated heartbeat(no.1 above), reddening of skin is also a common symptom for Falling In Love.

4) Hyperactive hormonal activities
Certain hormonal boosts will be experienced. Arousals and lust will not be exceptions from this, and specific 'desires'(you know what I mean) will be awkwardly wanted by the patient. This is still quite unexplainable, but the human body's hormones will have more activity going on. Gods, this is tough to describe.

Side-effects of Falling In Love include the following:

1) Vulnerability in handling one's personal emotions
It is not explainable if it is due to stress, joy, or any other emotion that this side-effect is prominent in Falling In Love. Clearly, subject will not be able to keep his/her emotions well and secure at all times, and through the course of stages, this will become more and more apparent as more and more feelings begin to surface and grow stronger. The investing of certain emotions will be a part of this. Inexplicable rushes of stimulating reactions and emotions will also occur.

2) Evident stuttering
This side-effect may vary through Falling In Love. This is not guaranteed to happen all the time. Supposedly those with the most untreated cases of Falling In Love may have a larger probability of experiencing this. This side-effect may range from mild to severe stuttering.

3) Prominent sensations in the stomach region
Sensations like butterflies in the stomach or churning of the stomach may be experienced depending on how severe the case of Falling In Love has affected the patient.

4) Possibility of heartaches
This is probably one of the most depressing, saddening, dangerously unhealthy side-effects of Falling In Love. Falling In Love takes heartaches quite literally. When something goes wrong, like unhealthy and unstable relationships, misunderstandings, emotional and physical stress, heartaches(you know what I mean), there might be a POSSIBILITY of heartaches. This is most experienced in the most severe, and I mean really severe, stages of Falling In Love. If you have it bad, might as well play it good.

As a doctor-for-a-few-minutes, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and I strongly recommend that you love. Not fall in love. Because quite everything that falls gets broken.

Love is dangerous. But it's also beautiful and unexplainable and rushed and euphoric and has loads of nirvana. Not the band-nirvana. The adjective-nirvana.

To all those who have been diagnosed with Falling In Love, it's one hell of a ride. But it's beautiful in its own way.
