But whether good or bad, they can make you realize that when it comes to affairs of the heart, no one is ever singled out. Love is essential in our lives and the...

Each person has a story to tell. Even in the most similar of circumstances life always leaves a custom ceil on the soul. It's almost as if we are all standing around, and looking through a great bay window gazing upon a single tree at the top of a hill, footed with a collection of shrubs and grass.
