What is love?

Baby dont hurt me! (thanks if you got it)

                 I feel like this should have been written back in February, the time of the year where cupid tends to go trigger happy, but I want to analyze the results of Cupid’s drunken frenzy and see why we like to be with other people.

                Some people say it is pure science, others say it is emotion; I tend to agree with the former. After all, emotion is just pure science, but I am getting off track.

                We as humans have a set standard for our mates (I prefer blue eyes but I can adapt) and we tend to drift towards these people. Why? Science says it is because we have a natural preference to satisfy our desires. Whether you like blonde hair blue eyes, or you prefer the orient. Regardless, this is not important; it is just our natural standards that we set. When we manage to muster up enough courage to ask that girl on a date and she says yes, we get excited! This is because you are beginning to fall in love.

                So what is this sensation of love that we feel? When you are out with your hot date, your brain is happy and is telling your body to be happy too because of these magical things called endorphins. Endorphins are what make our bodies feel good and when the brain is satisfied, it releases these endorphins. This is the same occurrence when somebody gets high off of a drug, the release of endorphins that is. And when you go in for that first kiss (or something more advanced) your body begins releasing more endorphins. When you drop your date off at your house, you begin to slowly become calmer as the brain no longer is releasing endorphins.

                So what is love? Love is an addiction. When your brain gets that first taste of your new girlfriend, it wants more, because it wants the body to feel good. It wants to release those endorphins! This is just like a drug addict only the druggie has a physical dependency on chemicals as well. And guess what happens when you don’t see that person? You miss them. More like your brain is unhappy because it doesn’t have that spark to release those endorphins.

                In conclusion, love is fake. Love is a façade. Love is a pure addiction that your brain has and we as people seem to think that there is this emotional attachment to people. Emotions are fake too, but that is another story. But some people tend to disagree. So what do you think: Are lovers drug addicts, or is there an anomalous thing that we call emotion that influences love? Science tends to think the former.

BTW, I think that the feeling of rejection, the feeling of losing love, is your body throwing a tantrum because it knows that it isnt going to get that high anymore.
