The body is a wonder.

I had this strange thing happen to me last night. You know that feeling you get in your stomach when something bad happens to you in the area of love? That pain you can’t control, and can’t fix with anything other than time and distance? Well, I’m occasionally in a situation where an ex causes that type of feeling to happen. But now, I get that familiar blow to the gut, but it’s over as quickly as it came. I realized that my belly thinks it should react that way, then my brain reminds it everything’s okay, and I feel fine. I laughed about it all the way home.
