Does having butterflies in your stomach mean anything? Is it just nerves? Or it’s telling you that something is either about to go right or VERY wrong? I know I’m over thinking it and it’s probably just my insecurity running overtime. But does anyone know? I’m just too busy (well not too busy to blog) to Google.

Okay, I just Googled ‘butterflies in the stomach’ and Wikipedia’s was first on the list, so naturally I clicked on it. WTF! This is what Wikipedia has to say,

Butterflies in the stomach is a medical condition characterized by the physical sensation of a “fluttery” or “tickling” (hence butterflies) feeling in the stomach. This sensation can also be an uncontrollable physical sensation related to the body’s fight or flight response or it can be an ineffable experience related to the psychology of love.

Some believe that this is caused by the release of epinephrine, or adrenaline when one is nervous, pulling blood away from the stomach and sending it to the muscles. This reduced blood flow, in turn, causes the stomach to temporarily shut down, and possibly the reason for reduced appetite during love sickness.

This is too much to swallow! o_0

It’s probably just nerves, I’m sure of it. It’s probably my anxiety attack again! My cousin LL thinks I’m getting paranoid, just like SL my other cousin who is a paranoia freak. Yes, paranoia runs in the family like a plague especially our generation. That’s one sickness, the other is over thinking every detail a wee bit too much.

Unfortunately, I have both so I’m basically screwed.

Can someone please tell me what the hell am I suppose to do with these butterflies?

It’s annoying the hell outta me!

    Stop thinking about him and you. It’s hard, but is the only way.

    I’ve mastered the art of ‘turning off’ my brain. And ears if I may add. My boss can attest to that :)

    It’s simple really. I have finally found a way to think selfishly. Selfish but selfless at the same time. I wish I can put it in a better way, but I guess it’s just something I myself understand!
