But real love isn't just about the crazy beginning. It’s about what happens when the dopamine wears off and real life kicks in—the sick days, the quiet Sundays, the boring arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes.

That’s the love story worth writing. Are you currently "crazy" for someone? Drop a comment below—I’d love to hear how you’re handling the butterflies.

If you find their attention suffocating or their anxiety exhausting, do the kindest thing possible: Do not keep them around because you like the attention. That is cruelty disguised as politeness.

But let’s be honest: pop culture has sold us a confusing bill of goods. One minute, “crazy for you” is a slow-dance love ballad (thank you, Madonna). The next, it’s a warning label.

We’ve all heard the song. We’ve all felt the feeling. That heart-racing, can’t-eat, can’t-sleep state of being crazy for someone.
