Have you ever fallen in love with someone you knew you had no business falling in love with?
It could be anyone.
It could be your boss or your coworker.
It could be your neighbor or the priest from your church.
They could be married or in a relationship.
It could be a step-parent or step-sibling (a lot of that kind of p0rno these days)
It could have been a former p0rnstar or current str!pper.
Or it could be all the above - It could be your boss who also happens to be your step-parent that did p0rno films in the 80's and is currently your neighbor!
Whatever.
The point is, you met someone, and you felt a connection, but they were off the table.
It was wrong to fall in love with them.
Your brain saw it coming.
Your brain went on high alert. Beep! Beep! Alarms ringing everywhere. Mayday! Mayday! State of emergency! You like this person way too much! Stop! For the love of God stop before you fall in love!
And your heart goes, oops! I just did. I just fell in love.
Now what?
Your brain goes into overdrive, preparing for the tornado of feelings and emotions that your heart is about to combat with and experience.
Your intelligence tells you all the reasons you should stop.
Your logic gives you all the possible outcomes from this ordeal - none of them good; not for everyone anyway. At least one person's getting hurt. That's for d^mn sure!
Your conscience is like, Oh no! What have I done? What the hell am I doing? This is wrong! Oh God no!
Your mind is like, shut up b!tch! I think about them all day and all night! They come in my dreams!
Your heart is like, that's true! My heart beats for them and only them! I love them! I want them! I need them! I desire them! Do whatever it takes, I want that person right now!
And your brain is like, Oh no no no! No! Don't do that! Stop before it's too late!
Your aorta says, Shut the hell up! Before I break down and stop pumping blood to you fools!
The heart wants what it wants.
The heart doesn't care about the thousand reasons you shouldn't be with this person.
The heart only sees the one reason you should be with this person: You love them.
And the mind thinks about all the what could-be's and what should-be's with this person, encouraging the heart to push forward.
Logic and intelligence try to dissuade the heart.
The brain tries to distract the mind. Look at that other person! Oh! Look at this celebrity! So s3xy and attractive! How about a workout session? Come on, let's do something fun!
One might be able to distract the mind, but not for too long.
Because the heart beats for whoever it wants to beat for.
The heart feels for whoever it wants to feel for.
And the heart will always reign the mind back in. This is who I love. This is whom I have feelings for. This is the person that makes me skip a beat! This is the person that gives me warm fuzzy feelings! This is the person I should be with!
All the distractions are temporary.
If you had a diary, it would read this this:
Day 1
I missed you all day.
I thought of you all night.
I wish you were mine.
Day 2
I thought of you all day.
I missed you all night.
I wish you were mine.
...
Day 69
I still think of you, every day. Nothing's changed.
I miss you so much.
I wish you could love me back.
Please be mine.
...
Day one billion and sixty nine.
It's been a hundred lifetimes!
Why haven't you loved me back yet?
Please, for the love of God, and reincarnation, be mine now!
What do you do?
What can you even do?
You're helpless. A slave to your heart's desires.
And the heart, will get what it wants.
Or die trying.

It could be your neighbor or the priest from your church.
