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.

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

    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.

    Also, humans are very slightly bioluminescent.

    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 (some 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.

    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 🤜🤛

    People also glow, so yes, quite literally.
