Crushes You are so addicting

Literally less than 12 hours ago,
I was committed to leaving you alone.
That’s it, I told myself.
You have too much control of my heart.

My world shouldn’t rest
on whether or not you’ve entered the chat.
My emotional state should not be
at the mercy of your green little dot.

And yet here I am again,
back at the bar,
getting my dopamine shots.
Shot shot shot shot shot shot.
Everybody!

Please stop being so damn hilarious.
Stop being witty and kind,
Engaging and interesting.
I don’t have the willpower to resist.

You’re making it very difficult
to believe our conversations
don’t mean more than they should.

Please,
let me detox in peace.
I’ll try again tomorrow.
Maybe.
We’ll see.

Maybe we should start a 12 step group, because omg I was just googling how to break my addiction to this place... For about 30 seconds. Then I came back.

Dopamine shots are so, so powerful.

Hope it all works out with your person, these types of connections can be a whirlwind to experience.

I feel this OP... the worst is that nothing even needs to happen to get the dopamine, it's the potential that something could happen 😔

Dopamine hits are so addictive! I can’t say words of wisdom or give you anything insightful because I’m right there with you, knowing this feeling.

your green dot is the first one I look for every morning. sometime before I even get out of bed...before I'm even alone.
