Tag: love

The universal emotion that fills every beating heart, love, is a feeling that continues to dazzle and perplex me at the same time. The more I try to unravel it through my writing of stories, the more mysterious it gets, the more possibilities it throws up. And I don’t complain, really. I move along, tackling its many dimensions, as it leads me through a maze of the various forms it manifests itself in. From playful to mature to sincere to non-committal, this is one emotion that lets my imagination soar and conjure stories that I truly enjoy writing and that I hope the readers can relate well to.
