For the most part, LOVE is a powerful source of emotion which touches in the most unique ways ever. Whether romantic or friendly, innocently or familial, whether or not we may think some may be overdoing it lies within the core of our personal existence—or our own source of energy! Love is a mixture of blissfulness and total misery, depending how we’re experiencing it, and from a personal view, it sucks no matter how you cut it when you wind up with the short end of the stick. Romance hurts, but one recovers, the loss of an uncle, brother or even parent is even harsher, but time heals those...
