The heart of the matter

The human heart is an organ of exceeding delicacy. Yes, it's a big lump of hard-working muscle (probably wouldn't be too tasty on the eating side), but I'm talking about emotions here. Feelings. We know that emotions are essentially a series of chemical reactions which emanate from the brain. Why, then, does the heart feel hurt by emotional upheaval? That tightness, that ache...where does it come from? Why does it hurt so fucking much?

True... love can be blissful, sublime, and make one feel so damn good. Just like one of the Laws of Thermodynamics states, "for every action there's an equal an opposite reaction"... Meaning, if love can be all of those wonderful things, then it is equally true that love can be painful, destructive, and pure fucking Hell!

Keep your chin up, kid!
