Remember the first time you watched, "The Princess Bride." I'm assuming you've seen it and if you haven't, you should. It's a story of true love and what it can endure. Yes, it quirky and comical but at the core that's the message. True love can withstand anything, even death...as long as you've got a miracle and maybe a nice mlt, where the mutton is nice and lean..but I digress. It seems like people have forgotten the importance and strength of love. But, here is a reminder...
"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises and eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
