I'd like to throw you for a loop. I'm a romantic.
I know right - you really were not expecting that one. Neither was I. But here we are. Therapeutic breakthrough.
Maybe I should clarify, I'm a realistic romantic. Like I'm not moving across the country for love without some sound lists and research, but I'll fight fiercely when I believe in a relationship.
Which brings me to my point. Science. Chemistry to be exact.
Chemistry, real chemistry with another human being is rare. I'd like to define it as undefinable. A spark, a fire, a feeling you can't ignore. I can count on one hand how many times I've had real chemistry with someone. And I'm hoping it stays that way.
Science. I like that chemistry is a scientific principle. Practical me enjoys that there's a realistic basis for the draw I feel. Romantic me, she's into the spicy feels that encompasses. The unexplainable pull I have for whatever reason.
Ya'll chemistry. I am for all of the chemistry. Chemistry cannot be forced. And it's not easy to ignore. You can lie to yourself about it, you can pretend it's not there - but it's going to find you.
Unfortunately - chemistry is not always what dictates your person. It certainly cannot sustain an entire relationship. But without real chemistry, I don't believe a relationship is worth giving your energies too.
Timing can keep everyone apart. Fear can keep everyone from being honest.
There are a lot of outside entities that keep people apart. But the romantic in me hopes that when you find real chemistry, you give it a shot. Whether that means telling that person how you feel, owning the emotions within yourself, or going all in - do yourself a favor, and give science a shot.
