At age 24, my sister Rachel was anything but looking for romance. Previously disappointed by a long-distance relationship, she longed for patient strength, laughter and bear hugs. “I guess what I’m asking,” she wrote, “is for pigs to fly.”
Last Christmas, my entire family spent a few weeks together in Jerusalem. Whether the 10 of us piled into two tiny rental cars, went on walking tours or decorated the house, I kept busy snapping pictures. And somehow, Rachel figured in more photos than anyone else, always with a megawatt smile on her face.
It wasn’t hard to guess that she had found someone special.
When Rachel met Gabe, she did her best to scare him away. He should have been scared: After all, he had weathered his own heartbreak. But somehow, he just couldn’t resist finding out what would happen if he took the time and effort to break through the defenses Rachel had built around her heart. And in spite of herself, Rachel let Gabe hang around because he was endearing: just an ordinary guy who embarrassed himself sometimes — but courageously insisted on being open with her, any

How You Can Find True Love That Will Never Die
What does true love mean?
Robert Sternberg, a psychologist, developed the Sternberg’s triangular theory of love in the 1980s. This theory identified seven types of love based on the levels of intimacy, passion, and commitment present:
- Friendship: Friendships don’t typically experience significant intimacy, passion, and commitment, but instead are characterized by liking.
- Infatuation: The primary component of infatuation is passion. Infatuation can describe the lust and infatuation that often occur early in relationships.
- Empty love: This type of love is characterized by commitment, without passion or intimacy. Empty love may describe a long-term relationship where partners have drifted apart from each other, both emotionally and physically.
- Romantic love: The components of romantic love primarily include intimacy and passion. Partners who have a strong emotional connection and passion, but have not made a long-term commitment to each other, may be experiencing romantic love.
- Companionate love: Companionate love includes liking and intimacy, but lacks passion. This type of love is frequently present in long-term relations

If there was any summary of the sentiments that encapsulate my thoughts and response to Echo, it is this line from Disco Elysium. Though decidedly on the psycho-paranormal spectrum of narrative than political, the same sentiment is expressed. A complex combination of psychological and paranormal factors, external and internal forces, contribute to an intense and gut-wrenching backdrop for a horror-themed visual novel. Because of this, Echo’s focus and sentiments trend extremely closely to Night in the Woods. Like Disco Elysium’s more American counterpart, the culture and sentiments expressed in Echo are decidedly exclusive to the geographical area of its setting. Its approach is undeniably rooted in American individualism and the American psyche, tailored further to portray the particular quirks of the post-frontier United States.
Normally I’m not really one for horror, having not enough of a visceral imagination for Steven King but also lacking the stomach for the same genre in motion picture. Echo, for its par
