love is often defined as a strong feeling of deep affection, which is more so accurate to many experiences i've been through or heard of. some describe it as a four letter word that means little to nothing to them. but, i digress, there is a question many, and mayhaps you are a part of that many, ask. "what is love?" i do not know the sure answer. i believe it's made up of many things; compassion, acceptance, affection, loyalty, and more. but these are stories about the topic at hand; love. they are stand alone stories, but together, paint a picture.
