Love feels like this deep, mysterious thing, but your brain is actually running a complex process behind the scenes. From past memories to subconscious preferences, it’s constantly figuring out what (and who) you’re drawn to. Relationships aren’t just about compatibility, they’re about two minds learning each other over time. And honestly, that makes love even more fascinating.

I’m fascinated by how love can be so confusing. Morally, loving more than one person might seem wrong, but our minds still allow it. For example, you might start a new relationship, yet an old love still lingers in your mind. It doesn’t vanish—it just fades as new feelings grow. We often hold multiple loves at once, and that’s both odd and intriguing, even though we don’t realize it.

In a world where dating apps and social media make casual encounters common, I find myself at odds with this trend. Indian youth are changing, and it’s hard to explain to our parents. While some find happiness in this, I believe in deeper connections. It’s okay to have choices and respect different perspectives, but personally, hookup culture just isn’t for me.
