Falling in love for the first time was so confusing that I don\u2019t think I realized I was in love. Okay \u2013 perhaps I am applying the word \u2018love\u2019 haphazardly. But then again, I\u2019d rather be too liberal with my love than tight-hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am going to write more often until I work my way out of the doldrums and nightmares and reach a better place.
