twist and turn of hormones
estrogen and testosterone
limbic system activated
fueled by dopamine and noradrenaline
chemical cocktail drunk fast
euphoria nested in the stomach and heart
negative thoughts released
from frontal cortex
until the next phase
guarded by
oxytocin and vasopressin
commitment and attachment intertwined
in the long run

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.

Until the systems become numbed & the chemicals deactivated. And then where will we find ourselves. Is there anything beyond chemistry, biology & physics? Sometimes I wonder.
