“Love is an untamed force,” writes Paulo Coelho. “When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”Even when devastating, love can still be funny. A this-is-too-surreal-to-be-real kind of funny.
