04    INTO THE ABYSSModern Love

Never has it been a more challenging time for love and being alone at the same time. The age-old tropes we grew up with all seem like a distant dream or something we yearn to go back to, and yet this simple feeling’s misplaced, indulgent at times and even more confusing in the world we live in now. Will there ever come a time for it to be as easy as spelling L-O-V-E again? Or has it turned me into a cynical romantic?
