Limerence has become a demon in mental health chat in the last decade. Yes, limerence removes one from the wheel of capitalism & the social bonds deemed acceptable therein, oh no.

#Limerence also gives us humanity’s best art & a lens through which to view the most tangled aspects of the self.

Our love for those homely animals was deep

and would figure in the knowledge that such bruises
aren't endless, and that our rib cages are not mere bones. One can die
from grief, so now we can describe loss and love as the Holy Twins.
