About 4 months ago, I started noticing a growth in affection towards this one person in my school. Basically, I was developing a crush. This person is someone I wasn’t that fond of tho. My mind and heart were at war. My heart was saying “you shouldn’t and can’t love this person, don’t form an attachment. You won’t get the love back in return” while my mind was like “but it feels so good to ‘love’ this person”. That’s when I realised I don’t actually love or like this person. There was nothing to do with love or soulmates. All of this was pure neuroscience. My brain was simply addicted to the dopamine hit it got when it had that thought of loving this person. Basically, my brain was using that person as a slot machine for dopamine. So, if your in “love” with someone, ask yourself; do I really love this person or is my brain simply addicted to the dopamine it gets when it thinks of this person?
