Something inspirational:

“Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off.  It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can.”

    1. Thanks Lisa. I hope others will too, but I'm not sure how many put importance on these aspects of a relationship.

      The emotional ties have always been an integral part of my life, regardless. I would think that without that bond there will be very little to base a relationship on.

  1. Very True. Some people are very lucky to find love early in their life. Hopefully I will find mine at some point. Better late than never.
