    About this ebook

    This work can hardly be called a book, but it is something that may help you understand and describe your thoughts and feelings in words and ideas that have eluded you for years. Those who havent experienced something like this, I am sure its going to be a big spoiler that you shall fetish henceforth after reading. Those who are currently feeling it shall be invigorated by the words and ideas like a potent shot of adrenaline. Those who have already felt it in the past much before shall either make you proudly surprised or unapologetically acquiescent or politely dissentatious or cloyingly nauseous.

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
