Daily Insight: Wiggly Feeling

This topic is something that is quite near and dear to my heart. No ladies and gentlemen, not sarcasm, not my friends, not my family, but……..the damn WIGGLY feeling. Now I know some of you are reading this asking yourselves what is the wiggly feeling?? A friend of mine defined the wiggly feeling as that warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you meet someone new you really begin to like. You get butterflies in your stomach when you’re around them, can’t stop giggling at something that’s not that damn funny, this person is all of a sudden hilllaDious (yes hilarious with a D, that same friend pointed out when you laugh at a mans jokes that you like they all of a sudden become Martin Lawrence and your jaw drops when you say hilarious) and you’re basically walking on sunshine. Welcome to the land of the wiggly feeling. I’ve felt it, you’ve felt I, your parents have felt it and everyone will at some point in their lives.

A wise man once said “I heat up and I, I can't come down, swear I'm spinnin, I'm on a merry-go-round, and I picked up a joy to my face, my heart beats faster than a regular pace, and I'm not sure of what it is, I asked my mother to help me with it, and she said ‘Daughter, you reached a jones - And that's real lovin, so carry on’” Now Tweet’s Momma might have called it a jones but we all know what she was referring to. My question is why don’t we all heed that advice? Why is it when that wiggly feeling creeps up on us, we shy away?

I know in the past that I have been kind of scared of the wiggly feeling. I’m not trying to trip and fall in love with a person that may not be what I need at that point in my life. Or I may not feel as though that person feels the same way. But at the end of the day I’m no Nostradamus I can’t see into the future, and last time I checked neither can you. How are you ever going to figure out what a wiggly feeling leads to if you don’t “carry on?”

Not everything is going to work out, and believe when it happens to you you avoid that wiggly feeling at all costs. But we don’t live in bubbles for a reason. These things are meant to be felt, and meant to be experienced. So next time you feel that wiggly feeling up, go ahead and drop that jaw to call someone hilaDious, you won’t regret it. After all that's pre loving so carry on :)
