I think I'm going to deviate slightly from the norm and ask you, whoever you are, what you think.
1) What is love?
2) What does it require to live in the moment?
3) Which is worse: holding onto the past or worrying incessantly about the future?
4) What does the word "ideal" mean?
5) What is happiness for you?
Loaded questions, I know, but I get bored with my own thoughts sometimes.

Adventures with loved one(s).

1) This is my current favorite quote oddly enough. "Love is the condintion in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own."

4) What does the word "ideal" mean? adjective describing a condition similar to a preconceived understanding or philosophy of a particular person
5) What is happiness for you? Being in a car with absolutely no one in the universe near you and driving down an old country road that no one has seen in days.

-who the hell?
