05/16/2019, past 4 am Dear Love, You know how some movies take you to a time and place? I am now watching "He's Just Not That Into You." And it took me back to when I first watched this movie.

I wrote love letters that my friends would send to their girlfriends or to their crushes or to the girls they are courting. Often, I'd ask them what they want to say. Then, I would take a sheet from my stationery collection. And write as beautifully as I could. Sometimes, they would not even tell me what to write. I just wrote whatever I thought would put a…
