What is love, really?
I think everyone sees love in a different perspective than the next person. I see love as being able to see someone at their best and at their worst, and still being able to stay by their side. I think love starts as a friendship and can blossom into something bigger and better. I like to think of love as being two minds coming together to not agree, but being are able to see each other's points. I think love is to accept someone's dreams while sticking with your own.
But, then there is the cynical point of view, which I must admit, I do believe does play a part in falling in love. Chemicals play a large part in love. Oxytocin, the chemical that is released during and after sex that prompts cuddling can also be released when you hear your lover's voice. Endorphines are another group of chemicals that help stabalize a relationship; the longer two people are together, the more likely they are of staying together. Endorphines help people find comfort, dependability, and warmth in a relationship.
But, how do we get to that point that chemicals are released? When do we know that we're in love with someone and their voice is all we need to hear? Do the chemicals spark the love and then the true feelings move in, and that's when it hits you that you're in love? Or is it the other way around?
If anyone has a good website they know that has information about this, I'd like to read more about it....it's a really interesting topic.
