All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Relationships
Relationships are known to blossom among two people when there is a common interest on a personal or professional level. At the beginning of employment, new employees develop an employer/employee relationship with their supervisors during the hours of operations of the company. Whether relationships are casual, personal, or professional, some of the most important elements of any relationship is communication, trust, and understanding between those involved. In formal or professional relationships, communication may be easier to initiate because it contributes to the success of the company and all the stakeholders involved.

The Great Loves of My Life
I'm lucky to have experienced a lot of love in my life– beginning with loving parents and a caring, involved extended family, right up to now, with my husband and close network of friends. Throughout our lives, we're often told that marriage (or an equivalent) is the ultimate expression of the ultimate love. However, having experienced a healthy, monogamous marriage as well as many other variants of what we call love, I've seen again and again how platonic love is far, far underrated.

A Love That Never Was, Lost Forever
So you didn't want me in the end and nothing I said or did could change your mind. You left me lost and hungry for your touch that I could never have. The chance to talk all night long until the sun rose high into the early morning light, to laugh and hold you tenderly. Now I am numb, my words are choked, they can't come out. I've loved you for so long yet I barely know you. A mystery wanting to get so close but so far out of reach from you. Now my heart feels full, when it comes to you, I have maxed out my emotions, beaten myself to a pulp for not being good enough for you to want to share my thoughts and desires. To love you from afar is soul-destroying, it cuts through me like a knife.

Love Lost?
Sometimes we feel that “true love” will last forever and because we “separate,” we feel the “love is lost.” When most of the time, it is us who have failed to love or accept love. No work. No growth. No word. No amendments. Love has not failed nor has it tricked us. The “love” will always be there (somewhere) but, like any other form of energy, it transforms, never to be destroyed nor lost.

Loss and Love
She watched as the smoke raised towards the sky to join the clouds, forming a thick gray blanket that covered the town she once loved. He came up behind her and placed his hand on her back. He looked around at the scorched wood, and fallen structures of warmth, safety and strength. She looked into his eyes, and turned herself into him resting her head in the crook of his neck. He wrapped his arms around her and let her finally breathe. She gasped and let the tears she had been holding back for the past hours loose. She melted into his arms letting her tears flow as he kept her safe in his embrace.

The Perfect Date
He holds me. As we lay cuddled up under the covers of his bed, we watch Disney movies while sharing a large Domino's pizza. As I close my eyes I feel him look at me. You know when you can feel someone looking at you? This was one of those times. I look away from Alice falling down the hole to see him looking at me with an intent look in his eyes.

The Controversy of Love
When it comes to love, humans are only interested in either the hunt for love or the idea of being in a relationship. One of the major things about love is that it is over-praised and gets mistaken with lust. This can be proven through the psychology of love, examples of the complications of love, ambivalence, and the controversy between real and fake love.

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
It didn’t amount to much at first…our first meeting. I wouldn’t even call it a meeting, more like an encounter. It was on May 6th 2013, we had just started a new position at Bank of America. I was driving around frantically trying to find my way to the main entrance. I was late as usual and rushed into the training room to find a seat. That’s when he said he first noticed me. He liked how I looked in my pearl earrings. I have no memory of seeing him that day. In fact, as bad as it sounds, I didn’t know he existed until weeks later. He told me at the end of our first date that it was love at first sight. I told him there’s no such thing…

'You Have to Love Yourself'
“You have to love yourself before you can love someone else.” Well, no. In my 18 years on this planet I have not learned as much as I would’ve hoped to, but I do know love. I know what it feels like, as well as how to give it. I know how to love the right people, and I know how to love the wrong ones. I know how it makes your heart feel whole even on the roughest days, and how it has that insane ability to make it seem as though everything will work out—even when it won’t. I know the feeling you get in your entire body when you look at someone you love laughing. I know how it feels when love leaves. And I know that even though I do not yet have unconditional love for myself, I have loved and I have loved fully.

Are You My Daddy?
The first man I can remember being attracted to was Judd Nelson, and no, not his character from The Breakfast Club. That might have seemed more natural since I was only around ten at the time. I'd seen him in a late night movie and let's just say he was the 'bad guy'. He was also much older than me at the time, well he still is of course. But I was ten and he was in his thirties. You could argue that this was the first emergence of many issues to come for me regarding relationships and men.
