What is Love?

Well all have those moments when we think were in love...Well do I have a small wake up call curtisy of www.tesh.com under dating and relationships.

We all know when our hearts starts to go pitter patter when that someone walks in the door, and you become nervous and yes it's alright to sweat a little!!
What is really happening is that your brain is producing chemicals like: Phenlythemine which speeds up the information to your nerve cells, thens their's dopamine which produces euphoria, and lastly norepinephrine which stimulates adrenaline.

All these chemicals are amazing, because they allow us to fall for that good looking guy or that beautiful girl.

We must remember how to control ourselves, because if you are with that special someone, these chemicals only last about 6 months, and after that other chemical that kicks in, is oxytocin which slows down the process of adrenaline, and this allows two people to bond better together.

So as you can tell I love Psychology and everything that goes along with it!! I've learned a lot over the years, and I'm still learning while my time is at Vanguard.
