pulchritudinous.

Listening to: Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are.

Pulchritudinous.
It intrigues me that the skin and bones of your face have moulded together into something so brilliantly flawless. All human beings are necessarily equipped with skin and bones. But yours has, by chance, formed together in such a way that I cannot so simply describe.

You are systematically perfect.

You are technically sublime.

You are accurately beautiful.

And your anatomy is completely unrivalled in every way.

The physical sensation between two people, some say, is called 'chemistry'. And I agree, neurochemistry is very much a part of it.

My endorphins, the neurotransmitters coursing through my brain, react wildly when you are near and send my heartbeat pulsing at what roughly feels like the velocity of a particle moving at the speed of sound.

But there is more to it than simply that.

Theoretically, when two similarly charged objects are placed together, they experience a repulsive energy.

Yet, since the initial moment our paths crossed, there is something that has me inextricably drawn to you. It's as though you are the bright, burning star, and I am merely one of the planetary bodies bound by your gravitational force field.

Yes, like a magnet to metal, I am helplessly attracted.

Just like the gravity of the moon’s affect on the ocean’s tide, I’m pulled towards you.

It’s just as nature intended.

As though we were moulded for each other.

It’s inexplicable. And it’s incomprehensible.

Yet its occurrence is inevitable.

Thus, I must conclude..
As each one of the facts that I have stated above are undoubtedly, positively true, it can all only pertain to one thing:

My hypothesis that..

I think I’m in love with you.

Behind the Story

Complex words, yet a simple message. A nerd’s love letter. Even those who seem like they’re impossible to love do find it eventually. And even those who try to find the answers to everything in life, and try to understand every aspect of the world, still can’t ever fully comprehend the baffling, paradoxical, intangible mystery that is love. We can try to describe our feelings with as many words as we can think of, as many as we can find in the dictionary, but it will never be enough. Because while its perfectly fine to babble our way through our emotions, basically, all we really want to say is easily explained in three little words.

pul•chri•tu•di•nous [puhl-kri-tood-n-uh s]

adj.
Characterized by or having great physical beauty and appeal.

There are so many ways to convey what you think. There are so many words we can use to say the same thing. Pulchritudinous isn’t a common word we use these days. In fact, I’ve personally never heard it said out loud. But while it sounds like some kind of disease, it turns out to be a compliment. Some words are so overused and worn out that they almost lose their meaning. And when this happens, we should find a new way to say it, and create a new, original way to express our meaning. So, maybe every now and then, when you discover a beautiful person, with a beautiful soul, you might think back to this moment, and blurt out that odd little expression: “Pulchritudinous”.
