Love. The human way of expressing an unbreakable bond between two people. Love is something that most humans want to achieve at some point in their lives. Typically, this can be found within the mid to later points of young adulthood and usually happens once one has found themselves. Within this season of love, I thought this topic fit perfectly!

Here are 9 crazy facts about love:

~It takes only four minutes to determine if you like somebody or not. Crazy right?! Yes, your heart and brain work together faster to decide something like that.
