All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
True Love: The One
True love is a Western society invention, or so I've been told. For countless centuries people were married to one another based on societal status, social class, through arranged marriages, or just for the survival of the human species. "She has some nice child baring hips. I shall make her my wife." Crap like that. It was never about a feeling. So when did real love, or "true love" come along and does it even really exist? And if it does, what is this nonsense about "The One?" (No, I'm not talking about Neo and The Matrix.)

Anatomy of a Heartbreak
Being in love is arguably the greatest thing that can happen to someone; there is nothing better than finding someone who completes you. When you meet this person, you won't remember how you lived without him or her. Being in love transforms you into someone new.

Age Gap Love
You’re at the mall and you see a girl who looks like she’s in her early 20s. She’s holding hands with a man who looks like he could be her dad. You see them smiling and laughing with each other, trying to figure out in your head if that’s her boyfriend or dad. You might be thinking maybe she’s only with him because he has money and he’s her sugar daddy. Or maybe they actually love each other?

A Love Letter to No One
Dear _____, I know there is nothing I can do or say that will make you change your mind, make you accept me—accept us—into that void in your chest. I know there's nothing that would make you decide to love me when everything you've ever known or thought says such a love is impossible. So all I can really do now is try to heal the puncture wound you left in the fabric of my being, that separation of fibers once woven so tightly together. And I've been trying.

Fallen
Here I lay, covering my face. I have fallen from the highest of places down to earth. I am powerless to stop or reverse it. Can I ever become what I once was? Do I want to? I ask myself these questions and more as I struggle to figure out how to live. It was so easy before, but now I find even simple tasks a challenge.

Long Distance Relationship
You wake up everyday missing the one you love. Wishing they were here with you. If only time travel was real. Having busy lives, it can be hard to find time to talk to one another. When you're sat at home alone, all you're thinking about is them. You just want to hear their voice, see their smile and touch their skin. You imagine where they are and what they are doing, and it makes you sad to think you are not there with them. You message them, you can try to ring but when your time schedules are so different, it makes it very difficult.

803
Sometimes, a number is just a number... and sometimes it's not. 803!!!! Prior to the summer of 1972, I was just as significant to me as any other number out there. In other words, it meant nothing at all to me. It had no divine significance whatsoever. It was just good ole 803.

The Choice
Have you ever felt the need to run? The need to run and leave everything behind. All the cares in the world are gone. And all the past pains of life have gone away. And to turn around and get a brand new slate. Somewhere new to begin again. A brand new start for your life. Step away from what you have been raised to choose. Take the first step into something new.
