“...Love is a lie. It’s not some deep and meaningful connection
between two people built over stolen moments and awkward glances and hot
chocolates. It’s not a holy expression of the profound understanding you have
for another person or a sign from the universe that you’ve found the one human
being in the world that you’re fated to spend the rest of your life with.
“Love is chemical warfare. It’s your body responding to their pheromones
by juicing you with feel-good hormones and then spraying your own cocktail
of pheromones into the air. It’s serotonin and dopamine and oxytocin. You can
get the same high from eating a bag of chocolates, did you know that? And the longer you spend with someone, the
more addicted to them you become. Your body craves the chemicals their
body churns out. Love turns us into junkies.”
