Love is Never Easy

Disclaimer: All persons are innocent until proven guilty. Love is a set of emotions and behaviors ignited by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust. Love can vary in intensity and can change over time. It is associated with a range of positive emotions, including happiness, excitement, life satisfaction, and euphoria, but it can also result in negative emotions such as jealousy and stress. When love goes south, it can be one's ugliest nightmare!
