They asked me where I feel things one time.
They pointed to their throat and said, "For example, this is where I feel worry."
..I thought about it, actually. Anxiety started on my spine, along my lungs. Loneliness was in my lower torso. Anger started in the knees, and made its way to my head. Happiness was along the rib cage, calmness was in my shoulders.
But there were two things I couldn't pin-point.
Sadness and love.
Because sadness feels like you're enveloped in jello, moving takes to much effort and is a waste of time, but you can't breathe, and you feel sick inside.
And love was a bit complicated.
It's this chain reaction of your knees getting weak, your breath hitching, that warm butterfly feeling, and the slow smile spreading across your face, like you can fly.
Because that first realization that you're in love just hits you full force.
But you can't have that all the time.
And I have to go.
There are spiders on my spine.
