Love Junkies

I retyped my sister’s source for an essay requirement on chemical aspects of love. I got so annoyed at her for not being able to retype it herself (printer won’t connect to the PC so she has to print it on my laptop… and there are no other means of transferring it from PC to laptop since my laptop modem is busted and my flash drive is not with me at the moment). I put on RHCP’s By The Way to soothe the beast and yeah, I guess Anthony Kiedis voice and basically the Chili Peppers’ music induces dopamine-release. Yes. I felt happy listening to them. Hahaha Unusual but yeah. Through the years their songs started to sound lighter, happier and less depressing.

As I retype the whole main source for her essay I figured out, relationships may after all be one big chemical affair. Maybe love is just a series of chemical highs governed by the same influx and reflux of hormones and chemicals we get when we all crush on someone (like people in print ads and commercials or movies and tv shows and the like). So I’m thinking: I’d rather obsess over people I would probably never get to know in ‘real’ life than commit? Or eat chocolates for life. I mean, it’s all about the feeling right? Well, maybe not.

After all the phetylethylamine, dopamine and nonrepinephrine has decreased production, people feel less in love, either seeking new ways to feel loved or pleasure. They either make efforts to rekindle old fires with their lover but most of the time they say things aren’t really working out and thus it becomes an excuse to cheat.

Tidbit for the day: Love is just a series of chemical highs.

Power to the love junkies? hahaha

Disclaimer: No, AM is no way in love or has been in love with anybody and probably will never be in the near future. She just came across an article discussing the “chemistry” of ‘love’ through her annoying sister.
