If you have to have brain surgery you might as well bask in a few weeks of love and awesomeness. Here’s my personal top five list.

  1. You get to find out that many, many people love you.

  2. You'll have intense dreams at night that always seem significant. By morning many of the questions you had on the previous day appear to be answered.

  3. You get to read tons of books and not feel like you’re shirking your responsibilities.

  4. Breakfast in bed. Need I say more?

  5. The love you have for your significant other grows in ways you never knew were possible.
