Are you love-sick? I am not talking about sick as in a disgusted manner. You may feel like you have lost appetite for any kind of food. You do not get sleep. You may cry for someone who doesn’t even know you exist. You may have swollen eyes, eye bags or dark circles that make you lackluster. You may experience all these when you are in love with someone. However, let me break the spell…
It is all in the mind. You think it is love that is causing you to feel this way but it is not. It is just that you are occupying your mind with thoughts of the person you love. So much that you tend to ignore your hunger and thirst. You deprive yourself of sleep in order to wakefully think and picture your sweetheart. At times, if you are in a relationship, you do not leave that person’s side even for a minute. You desire to speak with him or her either to calls or messages throughout the day and night. Sometimes, it could be senseless chatting but you continue only to hear his or her voice or know that that person is available to respond to your mindless chats. Many times, it is just the initial phase of a relationship where you both are getting to know each other. However, in the process of knowing each other, you are forgetting your daily requirements, like taking a shower, eating, drinking water to hydrate your system, etc.
Moreover, you get so engrossed in building this one relationship that you forget all other relationships, like family, friends and other loved ones. People around you feel neglected by you while you wholly consume your time with one person in your world.
Ask yourself – Is this really love? Is love that inhumane that you forget the world and your own life? It is the initial phase of a relationship that helps you find out whether the relationship is for keeps. Love comes in life at some point. It is not life. You can live beyond love, as well. Give equal priority to your lover, family, friends and others, as well as your body that needs nutrition to survive and love.
This Valentine’s Day do not ignore your life because of love. Love and life can co-exist. Do not make yourself love-sick.
