Although love is an emotion that can't be easily explained, it is the seed to other growing emotions; whether it's anger, sadness or happiness. All those emotions are evoked from some type of love.
When you’re riding the high of love, your smile always meets your ears and you have that warm, tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach. But when you're on the downside of the rush, it feels more like a thousand burning needles to the heart (um, maybe a big of an exaggeration, but not by much!). Nonetheless, there's only one emotion that can take you from one extreme to the next, that is and will always be love.
