Effects of Love
Love is a complex feeling, and our brains play a significant role in it. When you first fall for someone, you might feel euphoric and obsessed with them. This initial stage, called infatuation, is driven by a brain region called the ventral tegmental area (VTA), which releases the "feel good" neurotransmitter dopamine. This makes you want to be with the person more. During this phase, you might overlook flaws in your partner due to reduced activity in the critical thinking part of your brain.

First couple of reads, the quote was disagreeable because there was no belief of my life holding space for chaos until the definition was seen with clarity. Chaos is a state of utter confusion. That landed me exactly where I've been dwelling in, a reality of confusion. A reality of discomfort through poor choices constantly chosen.

After I checked my book out, I turned around and saw Diaval leaning against the wall. He looked up, and saw me walking up to him “Are you ready to go?” he asked. I nodded my head. “Yep all set” I hummed, he turned towards the entrance of the library, and offered me his elbow. “m’lady” he whispered, I rolled my eyes, and took his offered arm. He walked me out, and headed to the parking lot. “Oh Diaval, I walked here, I don't drive,” I said, giving him a sideways look. “well… just because you walked, doesn't mean I did.” he purred catching me off guard
