What does it mean to be in love? No one can tell you how strongly you feel about another person, regardless if your emotions are authentic or fleeting. Your love is measured by your heart, but as those who have lived through high school know, the heart lies like a rug. I remember playing the video game Double Dragon when I was barely old enough to see over the arcade sticks. For years, I thought it was one of the best games of all time.

Not until I fell for the woman who I would later marry, was I able to look back at the other women and think, "Holy shit, she was Double Dragon".
