When you’re looking at someone you really love, your pupils dilate, letting more light into your eyes. That means the world is literally brighter to you.
This happens if you’re attracted to someone in almost any way but especially sexually.
So random baddies on the street brighten my world too.
Shout out to all the random street baddies.
Also, humans are very slightly bioluminescent.
Wait, what?
Sure, anything that’s warmer than absolute zero radiates on the electromagnetic spectrum. The hotter something is the stonger the radiation. Since most living things heat up (dome through actual self-heating, others through movement and other processes), pretty much every living thing counts as bioluminescent.
Since humans have roughly 37°C core temperature, they mostly glow on the infrared spectrum.
You’re a fleshy glow stick.

Fuck. I was about to go to sleep and you’re going to give me nightmares.
Awww, thanks for the uplifting post!
Mr, President, when I said make the world brighter, I DIDN’T MEAN THIS

Until that love ends.
And then the world is permanently gray.
In case that’s about yourself: It’ll get better, all it needs is time. Scar tissue is the most normal thing. You’ve got that 🤜🤛
It generally takes about half the time you were in a relationship with someone to fully get over them after the relationship ends.
So don’t end a 60 year relationship ever.
People also glow, so yes, quite literally.
Perception is 9/10ths of the law.

If your partner exhibits signs of bioluminescence for more than 4 hours, please seek medical attention.

Yeah, but has it been 4 hours?

I had to have my sun surgically removed. It was gangrenous.

Good thing mine just becomes like that for 3 hours and 59 minutes

I’ve been bioluminescent in the IR spectrum for over 3 decades. Fortunately my physician referred me to a physicist about it
