When we are in love, we are similar to a fish swimming under water.

What happens when a fish is pulled out of water? It perceives pain and fights for its life. After five minutes, the damage becomes irreversible. It starts suffocating and enters the state of paralysis. And after ten more minutes, it eventually dies. That's how breakup feels like.

When we are taken out of love, we suffocate. We try to call or text our ex. We feel the pain of heartbreak. But unlike fish we don't die in an hour when taken out of love. Instead we remain in that state of unfeeling, endless oblivion for months until we learn to adapt and live without love for some time.
