Instinct

"So why can't you see, you belong with me?"

That's a Taylor Swift lyric, in case you weren't sure. I'm incurably obsessed with T Swift, but that's besides the point. 

That lyric is supposed to mean that she wants this guy to like her blah blah and he should notice her a little...but I was thinking, that could mean so much more. 

Feelings are complicated. Emotions complicate. That's what the general consensus is, which is why it totally frustrates people when I see basically everything as black and white...go with your gut, that's right, the end. The complexities only start when we second guess ourselves and lose what we are sure of in the shuffle. Falling for someone is helplessness, sweetness, wistfulness, and excitement. It's as scary as it is blissful. 

And as for the lyric, well...sometimes we let our overthinking get in the way of what we feel in our guts. Scientists can break love down into dopamine and serotonin all they want; no one fully understands how love works. It's too unpredictable to be pinned down. And things can fall apart when we let our busy thoughts overtake what we feel...sometimes, people just belong together. And I hope that they can give themselves over to their emotions just enough to understand that, and "see" who they "belong with."
