I love you!
A molecule of passionate love?
Gosh! Finally, an explanation for why people lose their minds when they are falling in love. I have known people that are "addicted" to this love molecule, NGF. Once the "passion" is gone, the relationship they were in ends as well. That inexplicable behavior (which I judge as a lack of willpower) makes more sense to me now.
Although the passion fades, hopefully the better part of actually being an adult human being takes over. If you choose to stay in the relationship, you learn and grow, and love turns into something much more real, stable, and challenging. Sometimes, a really nice bonus-round of the NGF molecule happens with a long-time partner. I know that's been true for me, anyway.
Sometimes, a really nice bonus-round of the NGF molecule just...happens. Ugh. That's where the challenges come in. It's a chemical, for god's sake! Possibly, could you buy a "patch" in the future to fend off unwanted NGF molecules? Or would you rather feel love, even though you wouldn't act on it? Weird to think about.
