Choices
“It’s impossible to grasp just how powerful love is. It can sustain us through trying times. Or motivate us to make extraordinary sacrifices. It can make decent men commit the darkest deeds. Or compel ordinary women to search for hidden truth. And long after we’re gone, love remains; burned into our memories. We all search for love but some of us, after we’ve found it, wish we hadn’t.”

I recently became acquainted with my mum's favourite magazine "Life & Love", which I must admit, after initial skepticism and doubt, found it to be a very happening piece of read. Some stories spoke of triumphs, others heartaches. One author who particularly caught my eye, posed some very interesting questions on the topic of love. We women are constantly waiting, waiting to be loved, waiting to love. But in a crazy and unpredictable world like today, loving will scorch you. Loving will not necessarily lead you to the yellow brick road, instead it is a journey full of thorns, rocks and scars. So in an equation that contains 3 constants with each leading to a different result, would you choose:
A. love,
B. marriage or
C. happiness
