Limerence

This is what you feel when you first fall for somebody. It’s that infatuation, obsession, butterfly’s in the stomach, that you feel when you just can’t stop thinking about being with them.

It’s a state of mind. It is not love. It is often mistaken for love.

In my case, I’m in a seventeen year relationship because I mistook this for love.

Love is an altogether very different connection.

POV: This should be taught in school. We should teach this to our kids. This is possibly the single most important word to have in ones vocabulary in order to avoid getting trapped again.
