Drabble for Thursday: Love

Love. A simple, short word. One of the most powerful in the world. Write 100 words on it.

Again, these are the thoughts of one of my characters, Tiffany Marchand, and not me. I hope that is okay.

I’ve never really been in love. I’ve been in one serious relationship, and a couple of short flings, but I haven’t really experienced that feeling that everyone seems to crave. Do I want to? Someday, yes, but if that day never comes, I won’t be heartbroken. It’s nice to have someone you can love, knowing that they will love you back, but I personally think that too many people view love as a drug: they get addicted to the feeling of being in love, and in doing so, they lose their sense of self.

Love is absolutely beautiful—in theory.
