Love

Our world is riddled with visions of love and
romance that can only be found in fiction, yet they are expected to translate
to reality. From a young age, you are exposed to princesses and love at first
sight; as you grow older you’re introduced to idealized sex and perfect
romance. We are tossed into relationships with these unrealistic expectations.
It isn't that we are just naive, we believe we know based on these false
expectations. Movies, books, TV shows, games- they all work at reinforcing
these ideals. The lack of glamour of real love eliminates it from popular forms
of entertainment and everyday conversation. We investigate love only through
these fictional ideals and scientific data, all of which are ineffective at
answering the most pressing question: is love even real?
