Dear Malia:

Feelings of being in love, these are like wind, flowing air. You can’t catch wind and hold it in your hands. And they don’t stay the same, these feelings, like air, sometimes it is a breeze, at other times a strong wind, and yet at times, stale air, nothing is moving.

Don’t have unrealistic expectations when it comes to feeling in love, butterflies and all. Let’s say you watch a movie, a passionate love story.. the two are passionate non stop for a whole.. two hours. Real life is longer than two hours, days and nights, weeks, months, years, passion cannot happen all the time. And it doesn’t. Sometimes the air is stale, not moving, at other times a breeze- it never stays the same for long.

Does this make sense to you?
