Love begins like a firework—intense, euphoric, driven by a rush of chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin that light up the brain’s reward system. It feels thrilling, even addictive. But as it deepens, love changes. The brain shifts focus to areas linked to trust, empathy, and long-term connection. It becomes less about sparks and more about steady warmth. In the end, love isn’t just something you feel—it’s something you choose, again and again, in the quiet, ordinary moments that matter most. 5 replies
