Synopsis

The subject? Well, what’s more mundane than what we’re all chasing after? What every Hallmark movie and Disney princess and person hopes to get?

Love, of course.

And most of us do get love, in the end. And some of us get doubt and heart break and then recovery.

In my piece, we live through the stages of dating and life, up and down the rollercoaster and through the self love tunnel and get on the other side all together.
