Random Love Facts
Falling in love causes seratonin levels in the brain to drop, causing obsession. It increases production of cortisol, a stress hormone that causes high blood pressure and potential loss of sleep.
Male and female hormones fluctuate like crazy when a new relationship blossoms. When men are smitten, they experience a drop in testosterone levels, a hormone which relates to aggressive, often domineering male behaviour, and women get a testosterone boost. In other words, men become more like women and women become more like men, nature’s way of solidifying a relationship.
Love originates from the brain’s logic centre, emotional nexus and centres of desire - the same place as drug addiction.
Love is a feeling of caring for another person. It can take many different forms (romantic, friendly, familial) but it is always about caring.
When you love someone you don’t ask them to sacrifice a part of themselves in the name of that love.
Love should make you feel happy, secure and appreciated.
People cheat because they fall victim to nature’s influence but they remain faithful out of love and commitment.
Romantic love can fade. When it goes there is not always a reason. When someone falls out of love with you it does not reflect upon your value as a person or your desirability.
Love should not hurt. Physical and emotional abuse have nothing to do with love and everything to do with power and control.

Define happiness… I’m still playing with what it means for me. I don’t like it much as a word. So misused. I prefer - both the words, and of course, the experience of - joy, peace, acceptance, clarity, responsibility, honesty. All play a part in what might be (my) happiness.
