So You Think You're In "LOVE" ?
Love is a tricky emotion. There are some things that feel like love but they are much too superficial to be the real thing. Real love takes time and doesn't happen over night. Here are three things that people often confuse for love.
Lust
Lust is the feeling that is often mistaken for love at first sight. Lust is an intense and sudden attraction to somebody you hardly know. It is mistaken for love because the attraction is so strong.
Lust can feel like love because the feelings of attraction are strong and all-consuming. The emotions stirred up by lust can feel very real but they are based on a fantasy. To love somebody you must know them well but many people fall in lust while they are still strangers. What people in lust fall for is a fantasy of what might be and reality can get lost in the excitement.
Overwhelmed by physical attraction people in lust can't keep their hands off of each other. They think about each other constantly and talk about one another all the time. Lust is a happy feeling brought on by passionate attraction. If you are inexperienced in matters of the heart it is very easy to mistake all that passion for love.
Lust differs from love like night differs from day. Lust happens in the early phase of a relationship when people don’t yet know each other. Lust is based on a fantasy, and the fantasy and reality don’t always mesh up. This is where lust runs out of steam.
Although physical attraction is definitely a key ingredient in any romantic relationship, love is more than just a physical longing. If a relationship is all about physical attraction it is based on lust. Really loving another person takes time and it can't be based on physical attraction alone.

Obsession
Obsessions are often mistaken for love because people rationalize the crazy feelings they are having. They assume that it must be love if the other person is always on their mind. Obsession is similar to lust but it is much more misleading and destructive. While lust is often fleeting, fading as two people come to know each other better, obsession sticks around.
The more time and effort invested in an unhealthy obsession the more intense the obsession can become. People in an obsessed state have a one track mind where the other person is concerned and they often lose touch with who they are as an individual. This loss of individuality creates a vicious circle of behavior where the obsessed person grows more and more dependant on the other person to bolster their sense of self.
Even unrequited love, love that is not returned, can become an overwhelming obsession. When one person believes they are in a relationship that doesn't really exist, or when one person is more invested in an existing relationship than the other, the foundation for an obsession has been laid.
Real love is nurturing and helps people grow but obsession is debilitating. If you feel like you have lost yourself, if you are always striving to please your partner without them doing the same for you, and if you find yourself making all decisions in your life based on the feelings and needs of the other person you could be dealing with obsession.

Rebounding
A rebound is a relationship that starts up very quickly after another relationship has ended. Rebounds are rarely based on love but are really a way of alleviating the loneliness people feel when a relationship ends.
Rebounding can feel like love for the simple reason that the people involved want to be in love. They are used to the security of being in love and more than anything else they want to feel that security again. They convince themselves that they are in love when they are actually missing the safety and comfort of the relationship they left behind.
If an old relationship keeps interfering with the progress of a new relationship it could mean that the relationship is a rebound. When somebody is on the rebound they are not entirely over their previous relationship. They may still be trying to work out unresolved issues from that relationship. Rebound relationships may feel like love but they are still impacted by unsettled feelings from the past.

Everyone has special talents they have been blessed with and I am proud of my ability to always be charismatic with persons I interact with.

What would you say is the biggest problem facing our educational system today? Why?
The rate at which the more mature, qualified and experienced teachers and lecturers are leaving our shores, in search for betterment; leaving behind a system now dependent on younger brains to mould our young ones. It is indeed a major sorepoint in our educational system today.

What are the best qualities a parent could share with their children? Why?
Every parent wishes the very best for their offspring. The best qualities a parent could share with their children are in the likes of them being responsible, keeping their religious beliefs, being well mannered, caring for others, showing respect so as to earn it and the most important is to love others as themselves. In doing this, a parent could rest assure that they would nurture an individual in whom they can be sure to be proud of in their later years.

What is the best advice your parents have given to you? Why?
I grew up with my mother who always provided the very best for me during every stage of my life and the best advice she has given to me is to be the best that I can be in every venture. I see that as the best advice because it always propels me to excellence.

Tell me something that will make me remember you.
There are various ways a person can remember me, but I will give you a very funny way to remember me. Here goes, I have always enjoyed fishing but I am afraid of fishes just out the water; I love swimming but I cannot swim!!

If you could be famous, in what way would you choose?
In the same way Presidents are famous persons, singers and musicians are. So, I would seek fame through the music industry, reason being is that music is food for the soul and through music messages could be sent. So, I would use music to minister to the hearts of persons in rehab, children in foster homes, and the elderly homes, giving them all hope and sending caring messages to them through music while healing their broken spirit.

What can women learn from men?
A woman can learn to be as resilient as a man is. Women are known for their strength yes, but a man is known for showing his and being strong in every situation. I think that if a woman can learn that art from a man we (women) would be better off in the sense of standing our ground and not having to waver.

What is the one thing that symbolizes happiness for you?
Not looking at the definition here but the one thing that symbolizes happiness for me is seeing a satisfied smile. That is one feature you can see and be sure that someone is happy.

If you were given any special power, what would it be?
A flood is a natural disaster but after the flood the water remains on the land so long, stirring up various illnesses and taking lives, so if I could have the power to dry up the land after a flood I would feel like superwoman.

What has been your most memorable rainy day?
My most memorable rainy day by far, stems back to my childhood. It was one of those wet weeks when the rains didn’t want to stop. So one morning, my sister and I decided to put on our swimwear and shower cap to bathe in the rain in our yard. We were having so much fun that we decided to walk around the village much to the amusement of passerby’s. We ended up at a cousin and persuaded her to come join us, which she did and we ended up going back to our front yard. After having enough, our cousins decided to head home and it was just then that the rains decided to end! They had to run through the streets in their swimwear while everyone was laughing at them. It is still embedded in my mind to this day.

Tell us about the nightlife in your hometown.
In Guyana the sun sets on various persons clad in their working attire at either a beer garden or one of our many fish shops after a full day’s work. When night falls, you could have your pick of various clubs, bars, fish shops, street limes with dancing competitions every night or have a more relaxing evening at one of our many luxurious or Creole restaurants, a poolside hang out, comedy night lime or the famous Sunday night lime on the East Coast seawall. You may just be seeing the same set of people at a few places around town but the encounters are always friendly.

What has been your weirdest dream? Describe it.
I have had a few crazy dreams, as I would put it, but of them all I could remember dreaming that our home was being robbed and I was the only one awake and seeing what was happening and the bandits were seeing me too. What was even crazier was that I was trying to scream and no sound was coming out while our home was being destroyed but these burglars. I got so frustrated that I started crying until I woke up and I got up looking around me frantically for the bandits, luckily they weren’t there but I was still crying.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie Call It Quits
Call it a love diffusion.Madonna and Guy Ritchie's marriage is on the fritz, with the 50-year-old Queen of Pop and 40-year-old film director announcing their plans to divorce.
"Madonna and Guy Ritchie have agreed to divorce after 7½ years of marriage," their reps said in a joint statement. "They have both requested that the media maintain respect for their family at this difficult time. A final settlement has not been agreed upon yet."
"It is sad," Madonna publicist Liz Rosenberg told E! News.
Word of serious trouble in the Material World bubbled over in August amid reports that she had a dalliance with Alex Rodriguez, helping to wreck his marriage. Ritchie refuted the claims at the 50th birthday party he threw for her, while Rosenberg insisted their marriage "does not need saving."
The two were last spotted together in public in September, when she rang in Guy's 40th birthday in London and attended the premiere of his latest flick, RocknRolla.
Earlier Tuesday, news of the impending split was splashed across British tabs.
The Sun reported the fighting has become incessant. The Daily Mirror said Ritchie took time out from filming his latest movie, Sherlock Holmes, in France to head back to Great Britain to inform his parents that he and Madonna were planning to dissolve their union.
Per U.K. reports, Madonna has enlisted the services of celebrity divorce lawyer Fiona "Steel Magnolia" Shackleton, who supervised Paul McCartney's split from Heather Mills.
Ritchie could make out quite nicely from their breakup, pocketing as much as $100 million of the popster's estimated $500 million-plus fortune since the twosome did not have a prenuptial agreement.
Madonna and Ritchie tied the knot in an extravagant wedding in Scotland in December 2000. They have two children together, 8-year-old Rocco and 3-year-old David, whom they adopted two years ago in Malawi.
Madonna also has a 12-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a previous relationship with dancer and former fitness trainer Carlos Leon.
This will be her second union to end in divorce; she and Sean Penn called it quits in 1989 after four years of rockiness.
