| "I Love Thee...I Love Thee Not...I'm Confused": The Idealism and Realism of Love |
 PRINTABLE VERSION |
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."
And you think Napoleon and Joséphine continued loving each other after exchanging sweet nothings yet again? In 1809, the lovers parted ways – forever.

WRITING IS MY PASSION. I have always loved writing - both in English and Filipino.
I would like to believe that I have touched some people's lives with the feature articles and poems that I've written in the past. And I hope my future writings will affect many people.
I delve into the deepest and darkest areas of the human soul, where very few people deal with and many prefer to suppress.
My style is always to let out angst in a creative way.
I also write about love, joy, and inspiration and I'm looking at sharing them here.
