Love- the infatuation kind- 'he's so handsome, she's so beautiful'- that can shrivel. As soon as something goes wrong, that kind of love can fly out the window.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

Accept who you are; and revel in it.

In this era of political correctness, some people seem unaware that being squeamish about words can mean being blind to realities.

Love is like breathing, you take it in and let it out.
