Ask my college roommate. She will tell you how apologetic I was to everyone and thing including my closet if I bumped into it. And if someone was angry with me, I’d lose sleep over it.

Here is a post from an old friend. I really like the perspective he offers Jason's Journal There is no 30-minute YouTube video that can teach you how to love.

So it’s Valentine’s Day. A celebration of love. Specifically, eros kind of love. Some of us are giddy while looking into our partner’s eyes and thinking of the future we could have with them.
