Awareness is a light of attention that you shine in one place or another. When you fall in love with someone, you shine that light on all of the adorable and delightful things you notice — the way an eyebrow lifts, a dimpled knee, a crooked nose. When you fall out of love, the light shines on pores that are too big, a voice tone that rubs your ears raw, the way the person won't stop jiggling.
