  • Lovely!

  • @gruyyt Its not just once in a life time. The first two times it happened to me almost BROKE me completely, but I only came back stronger. This time feels different. They say the third times the charm, right?

  • @calebhartkey i think i know what u mean. loving so deeply you feel like passing out, because of the intense emotional stress,

  • @calebhartkey Yes. your truly madly deeply in love, dont let it go, that sort is once in a lifetime

  • So live a life without emotional feeling? For all its madness I would live with the ability to love and be hurt rather than a robot of a system where the only love is money and power and the control that goes hand in hand with it.

  • I have felt as though I have loved so DEEPly that entire universes were being created. Is this normal??

  • Yeah, sexual attraction is strange ,the more Helen Fisher talks about it, the more I'm attracted to her....go figure.

  • wonderful.

  • Only if all females where educated like Helen Fisher.
