And you’re in love?
“Ma, we’ve never even kissed.”
And that has anything to do with it?
“Okay, fine. Yes, I think so”
“But don’t tell anyone. Don’t even repeat it to yourself.”
Why?
“Because it’s humiliating.”
Sweetheart, love isn’t humiliating. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that?
“Who would have told me that?”
Do you know the word humiliate comes from the Latin root humus, which means ‘earth’? That’s how love is supposed to feel.
“Like hummus?”
Like earth. It grounds you.
All this nonsense about love making you feel high, that’s not real. It should hold you like the earth.
“Wow, Ma.”
What? I have a heart, don’t I?
- Coco Mellors, Cleopatra and Frankenstein
