An excerpt from Paulo Coelho By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept

"It's risky, falling in love."

"I know that," I answered. "I've been in love before. It's like a narcotic. At first it brings the euphoria of complete surrender. The next day, you want more. You're not addicted yet, but you like the sensation, and you think you can still control things. You think about the person you love for two minutes, and forget them for three hours."

"But then you get used to that person, and you begin to be completely dependent on them. Now you think about him for three hours and forget him for two minutes. If he's not there, you feel like an addict who can't get a fix. And just as addicts steal and humiliate themselves to get what they need, you're willing to do anything for love,"

"What a horrible way to put it," he said.

"So we should love only those who can stay near us," I said.

By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept is a poetic love story that resonates love and suffering. By the River Piedra, I Sat Down and Wept utter choices between love and calling in life. Every choice is a sacrifice you just need to accept the outcome and always believe in happy endings because when if it is not happy then it's not the end.

Like the book of Coelho My Lost Soulmate also is a testament on how destiny tells us that what meant to be will always find it's way though sometimes choices should be made and you need to fight for the truth in whatever you believe and I tell you love always protects, trusts, hopes and perseveres. "i agápi eínai agápi"

I will seize this opportunity to personally thank you for reading the first book My Alien Soulmate and for continuing your journey with this second book My Lost Soulmate. Thank you for the support. This one is for you.

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering. -Paulo Coelho.

Love,

Badorita
