If you want to feel like you’re in love again for the first time, just look at a piece of art. Research suggests that your brain naturally feels pleasure when it sees art, giving you the same emotions you feel when you’re in love. This happens because giving meaning to a work of art triggers the release of dopamine, a chemical that activates happiness in your brain.
