overheard a guy trying to convince his girlfriend to get a protein bar instead of the croissant she wanted and she said, verbatim, “just because you don’t like joy, josh, doesn’t mean i want to be miserable too.”
I read it somewhere “we romanticised the wrong organ, the stomach is more emotional than the heart” and it feels so true. we feel butterflies in our stomach and when we’re sad we lose our appetite. our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realise.
