Dear Jessica,

I’m a man who falters when it comes to goals – sometimes. Thank you for holding me accountable.

With love,

Jeffrey

 Love,  a many-splendored thing. Love, a many-stupid thing too! Yes, love can feel like a thousand wonderful butterflies but it can also make you act a little foolish when you go out of your way to impress someone who isn’t all that impressive. Worse, your efforts in love can make you feel gruesomely embarrassed. Even worse, love could leave you heart-broken. Achk! 

Think/Act with your brain, not your heart – Doable but mostly impossible.  

Enter -> Human innovation! We as a species are on the crest of figuring out those chemicals in the brain that cause us to fall in love and, sometimes, fall in stupid. This discovery leaves open the possibility of not only a love potion but an anti-love potion too! This may give our brains a fighting chance before our hearts fall too hard.
