Another post like the other posts...

Okay people, I know I already posted this link on my Facebook page, but it's just so good.  http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/5-terrifying-things-i-will-do-if-i-like-you/
I read this blog post to several people, including some guys, and everyone agrees (for the most part) that it rings true.
I just love how honest it is. People always think they have secret, dirty, embarrassing lives- but are they really so secret, dirty, or embarrassing? I don't think so. Everyone (unless they are a-sexual like Morrissey- but I bet it's all to cover up his pain and fear of rejection...wait, Morrisey is sad? Who would have guessed?!) experiences the havoc dopamine causes. Everyone experiences self doubt and fear. Everyone is attracted to someone. Everyone has, or has had, a crush. 

I love reading this article to people because I can see the reality of it in them. Some people have a look of horror, like I'm revealing one of their secrets. Most people just say, "Oh my gosh! This is so true!" I just wish people could be more open, I think if we all said what we were thinking more often, then we might all realize that we're all thinking the same thing in one form or another. The older I get, the more normal I realize I am. My whole life people have been telling me I'm weird or awkward, but I realize I'm not much of either, other than the fact that I say things other people would never admit.

We all fall madly "in love" with people we've just met sometimes (some more than others- me).
We all live vicariously through books, movies, Facebook stalking, and daydreaming.
We all have sex dreams.
We all fart, get diarrhea, barf, have boogers, earwax, B.O., hormone hairs, and pimples.
We all worry about our bodies at one point or another.
We all are afraid of something.
We all compare ourselves to others.
We all just want love.
We all have bad hair days.
We all suffer.
We all face loss.
Regardless of gender, age, appearance, socioeconomic status, education, tastes, or any other differences we can find, we are all human.
 And for your listening enjoyment (warning, contains at least 2 swear words), my namesake:
