Love is in the... Imagination?

I find it amusing how Spring arrives and relationship statuses being popping up all over facebook. That little heart appears frequently throughout your mini feed. As if that isn't enough public notification, you begin to notice all of the couples wandering around in extremely close proximity, holding hands, etc... in public places.

In my opinion, this only proves the fact that we are nothing but animals. Spring is mating season, so everyone feels this urge to be with another individual that will "complete them" (Please, excuse my cynicism).

This is highly debated under scientific studies. Some believe it is due to human evolution why we do not have a "season." However, some studies show that July, August and September are likely months for conception (followed by October, November and December). Ok, so everyone finds a significant other in the Spring and by late summer, fall and winter they are making babies! Hmm...

Regardless of the studies, you do not need another human being to "complete you." As a friend of mine once told me, "Everyone and everything will eventually let you down." So, don't be surprised when they do. Eventually, we'll be watching many of those little hearts form cracks in them and those relationships will have ended.

(Disclaimer: I am not referring to every relationship, just the flings that occur yearly)
