I like this, but not the pain. ALthough, we will do it again (fall in love) for the mere sake of living life. Joy is to pain as sun is to rain.

sad and honest to the heart. Good write. I too cannot eat when I am upset. It is a curse.

I can relate to this-the emotional part but also a physical wasting away too. I'm one of those people who don't eat much when they are depressed or under stress, some people think it's a blessing but it's not.
