A Request to the Love of My Life: Will You Be My Sinoatrial Node?
Image Source: Chat GTP
Dear Future Partner,
I hope this message finds you well. I've been thinking about you and wanted to take a moment to share a few thoughts that have been on my mind.
As I think of the future, it reminds me of the precious time we might spend together. I find myself not yet ready to fully give you my heart, yet I yearn for you to be the one to conduct its rhythm. The sinoatrial node is the origin of every impulse within the heart, and my love for you is so intoxicating that I desire you to be that source for me. Because from you, the signal will naturally flow to the atrioventricular node, then through the bundle of His, and finally to the Purkinje fibers, orchestrating every beat.
Each time we meet, it's like a rush, a sudden surge akin to a panic attack. Yet, your love acts as the beta-blockers – Atenolol, Metoprolol, Propranolol, Bisoprolol, Carvedilol – gently calming the frantic pace. While love is often characterized by the presence of hormones like epinephrine, oxytocin, serotonin, and many others, I tell you that what I feel transcends even that.
If I could catapult through time, like a sonic boom to be with you, I would. Even if my veins, arteries, and the nerves nestled between my ribs were filled with blood, any observer, even a medic, would see the undeniable presence of your love. In your presence, I need no intercostal nerve blocks; the pain simply fades. The four chambers of my heart would have remained desolate and empty without your love filling them. And though the tunica intima of my blood vessels comprises the endothelium, sub-endothelium, and basement membrane, it is you who truly dwells within me.
I hope to see you soon! Miss you
Yours forever.
Heyjay
