ONCE A LOVER, NOW A STRANGER; WHY LOVE IS THE RISK WE SHOULD ALL BE TAKING... I’ve always found the concept of breaking up with someone to be both unsettling and sad. Whenever I hear of a friend or family member’s relationship coming to an end, I feel somewhat disappointed that another love failed yet again. Seeing some families where their parents met and fell in love at 18 years old, I grew up believing in the whole “fairy-tale” ending phenomenon. I just didn’t understand how if two people loved each other so much, they could even fathom ending things. I think this is part of the reason I struggled so much in ending my first long-term relationship. She was more than just a LOVER; I grew up with her.

Every waking moment was filled with loving and pleasant thoughts. The day was brighter. The world, more colorful. Life seemed to be more ali...
There are very few marriages that have a happy ending. There are very few lovers that stand strong and end up together because all love stories are not magical. There are just a few lucky couples who end up as soul mates. I feel love is a beautiful and memorable journey of smiles and tears. I have seen people fall in love. I have seen dreadful breakups because of jealousy and misunderstandings. I have seen lovers saying tearful and painful goodbyes to find love again or to fi nd better partners.
