Maybe Elise dreams now, but it might be her regret later in life. Love is powerful if you find that soulmate you cannot forget.🙏Mark

I tend to agree. The chasing of dreams if often the best part. And the reality doesn't always live up to the dream. Of course, not all dreams become reality, either. So it is good to have several dreams. Big and small. Trading love for a dream is a hard, hard choice. Only time will tell if it was the right choice.

Ah... decisions, decisions. Ultimately, Britpop wouldn't want a woman who gives up on her dreams, would he? Contrary to popular opinions, love is not all. They'll figure it out.

Elise knows herself well. She made a hard choice to pursue her dream. Of course, Britpop was devastated when his dream was crushed. But as we know, everything is far more dramatic when you are young. Love might not be everything, but it is a mighty fine thing. 🤓

Indeed. Here is Edna St Vincent Millay's "Love Is Not All" My favorite poem. I cannot read it aloud without choking up. http://bactra.org/Poetry/Millay/Love_Is_Not_All.html

The poem says it well. Of course, love is an expansive word in the English language. And in its various forms, we all seek it.
