Falling in love is sort of like being diagnosed with sugar diabetes. It’s kind of like a sugar overload and the body can’t cope with all the syrup fast enough so it results in a sticky mess and you end up chucking the baby out with the bathwater. Falling in love is sort of like weeding the garden; there’s a great vision of magnificent blooms further down the track but there’s the inevitability of pulling flowers out with the weeds and chucking the baby out with the bathwater. Falling in love is sort of like you know it gets more complicated than you think and it completely stuffs up your life because you should be finishing an assignment and instead you end up spending all night trying to make something to chuck out with the bathwater. Anyway, despite my warning, by the time you realize you’re in love it’s too late. You’re completely caught in the net. Every song on the radio is about you. The only way out is not to get up in the morning or to move towns and that’s tantamount to chucking the baby out with the bathwater. Be warned! Love’s sort of like a horse and carriage: every wedding’s followed by a marriage. It’s not that you can’t do it; it’s just that so many for a thousand different reasons blew it. |
