RE: The Super-Meaning of Romantic Relationships
@ Faith No More

Good post.

Do you mind if I ask how the last 5 years was different?

I agree.

Quote: It feels as if certain things make us happy, but what it really is that those things are the stimulation that releases the neurotransmitters that make us feel happiness.

What's the difference? Big Grin
