Love and Other Theories challenged my assumptions, dared me to think differently and burrowed into my heart. A heart-achingly beautiful story about whether it is better to protect your heart or to take the biggest risk of all.

My mom was there to answer the unanswerable, to make sense of the fault in our life - and we got through that somehow; we came out on the other side. Now I'm 0 for 2 and I don't get any more pitches to swing at.

I am no longer the left behind. I am the living. And I want everything this life has to offer. I stop for a second and look around at all the shops and stores and stalls. At all the people, going about their days, at all the moments they're living. This is what I want. I want to live every moment. I want to feel everything.

Sometimes instinct can be wrong. But sometimes it can be right too. And sometimes you just have to take it on faith.

As you see, context is everything and nothing at the same time. Words stand alone and with each other.

Trains are all the ways you miss each other-wrong train, wrong tracks, wrong time.
