That Feeling...

Hello my friends & family! Fall is here! Brisk air, colorful falling leaves & hot apple cider or maybe some peppermint mocha coffee (decaf for me please & thank you!) I've been doing a month long self examination & major changes are taking place in me. I'm blogging about THAT FEELING today! Ya know the feeling I'm referring to don't ya?I've been incredibly inspired to learn more about connections & chemistry. For some reason the good Lord made me be very in tune with myself & exceptionally perceptive when it comes to others. I'm grateful for these gifts! Sometimes, I over think things & confuse myself! I laugh at me a lot! Go ahead, you can too, I won't be offended! :) I've always longed & prayed for my "divine connections" & ya just KNOW when you've encountered him/her/them! Some connections last only moments while others last a lifetime. However long the season lasts, it should be cherished & appreciated! I'm a better person after every divinely connected encounter & I'm eternally grateful! I'm hearing a lot about "chemistry" in my inner & outer circle. I'm not much into science & I dare not try to explain things of the spiritual nature, but I know there's definitely something going on in my life concerning chemistry. The people I've been meeting are not just coincidences! I don't even believe in happenstance! I believe everything concerning me has been predestined by God & nothing can happen unless He allows it to & what I choose to do with it is on me! Many people may beg to differ & that's their choice, but this is my blog & this is what I believe. Nothing against anyone & what they may believe. :) I thought connection & chemistry was one in the same, but the more I feel them, the more I think they are two very different feelings! I can have a connection with males & females. I can share an emotional connection, a spiritual connection, a mental connection, but the physical connection is where I think chemistry comes in. I'm no doctor nor scientist, I'm not a theologian either, but I'm no dummy to that feeling!!! Some people think of animal attraction when they hear chemistry. I have experienced that feeling, but the one I love most is when it's innocent, pure, not lustful! THAT FEELING combined with the mental, emotional & spiritual connection is the total package! When that finds me, I'm gonna say I DO!!! Lol, seriously though...there is a point you reach where it seems beyond your control & the choice is yours to act on it or not! I know about the chemical dopamine in our brain that seems to be activated when we're happy...eating chocolate, drinking caffeine, riding on a roller coaster or maybe even meeting someone. That feeling is...butterflies in my tummy, anxiety, adrenaline, excitement & a strong desire to hurry up & see them again! Do you know that feeling? I think that feeling comes when we are in danger or when we want something that is forbidden or off limits to us as well. The thrill of getting caught doing something we have no business doing also releases endorphins. I even read somewhere that people who use drugs experience this too! No wonder people get addicted to people & things...constantly chasing that first feeling that I don't think we'll ever truly feel again! Not that same exact feeling anyway! Idunno, it's just amazing to me that just thinking of a person or thing can make you smile! Maybe you're talking about them to a friend & then out of nowhere they come around the corner or call/text you at that time! It's like magnets...you draw to you what you're longing for! But keep in mind, if you're unhealthy mentally or emotionally then you will most likely attract other unhealthy people. I learned this the hard way! It's best to be in a good place before going on to share your world with others, but should you meet someone opposite of where you are & they help to love you through your mess & are willing to help you & add to your well being then consider yourself blessed! That's what I call unconditional love! Well, I'd love to talk more about "that feeling" & my thoughts on connections & chemistry, but I have to go to work! I was in a zone & now I have to rush so that I'm not late! Until next time, blog ya later! Take care & be well! Have you told someone that you love & appreciate them? Always remember that THANK YOU makes room for more!
