BEING LOVESICK SUCKS!


It all started last night, when, in my dreams I came incredibly close to the best kiss of my life. 
That was, off course, until I found it to be very disturbingly interrupted. It had the grace of a hurricane struggling to come out of my nose with an amount of power that made the bookshelves vibrate enough to knock down a couple vogues and a few cosmopolitans. Oh! I forgot to mention. ON MY FACE!
And that’s when I knew: Today was going to be a tuff day…
I was barely conscious after my cosmo, who I thought was my best friend, hit me in the face. But I realized I presented clearly all of the symptoms of…uhmmm death?
Fever, killer headaches, swollen eyes that poured non-stop rivers of tears, runny nose and how to forget the annoying chills!

Which reminds me, Someone should call Thesaurus to try to get the word “chills” refrased or renamed. Something that would describe it better. Like, what’s greek for “briefly possessed? 

About the tuff day. Later when I finally got to my house after five long hours of drawing/dripping-tears-all-over-the-room-i-was-trying-to-draw-and-having-to-start-over-a-hundred-times. I began my peaceful search for inspiration in my trustworthy e-source that keeps me informed of the latest inventions of industrial design. And as if my whole day hadn’t been enough, the first piece I ran into was a beautiful reminder of my lack of sleep the previous night and my almost kiss. The image is at the top of the paper and I believe you have not ignored it. A collection of cotton printed sheets called “I dream of you” created by the photographer Jess Bonham.
This whole experience got me thinking about the connection between my dream and my sickness. So I googled it like the average wonderer I am.

Quote:
“While the words: “You make me sick” may not seem the most romantic Valentine’s card message, you could send your loved one next week for psychologists believe it may be more apt than people think.
Tearfulness, insomnia, loss of concentration – if these symptoms sound familiar, chances are you could be diagnosed with love sickness.”
-The Daily Mail

(This made me laugh a couple hours adding abdominal pain to my existing symptoms. )
And regarding my sickness? don’t worry about it.
The doctor said it was a virus but I don’t think so because otherwise everyone around me would be in bed dying of love!
