@ViolaB The only way to find love is to stop looking for it in other people, find what you love in yourself, and let yourself have as much fun with it as possible, until you no longer feel lonely.

Only when you stop looking does love truly appear, because then it's drawn not to your need or to fill a hole in your heart, but to dance with who you really are.

What this means in practical terms is that you should pour yourself a drink, throw on your favorite music, and do whatever makes you the happiest until the sun rises, or sets, love finds you, or you pass out. Regardless of the outcome, you'll have done your soul good.

Ok, I gotta give you real props for this submission. This gets weirder the further you go down the road. Right now I'm in Blythe, CA:

The Tropics of Blythe raises some mysteries. No such place exists today, and that’s hardly a surprise; your chance of coming across a motel with a big A-frame lobby AND and an adjacent Sambo’s are as likely as finding a two-headed jackelope.

Then there's that little elfin fellow. That's Ken Kimes, motel developer. Therein hangs a tale. New York Times:

While living in Mexico City in 1985, Ms. Kimes and her husband were arrested on slavery charges after several of their maids complained to the Mexican authorities that they had been beaten and imprisoned in the Kimes’s house. Ms. Kimes served five years on the charge (Mr. Kimes served three), and when the couple was reunited with Kenneth Jr., the family embarked on itinerant journeys to Hawaii, Europe and the Bahamas.

It was not long after the senior Mr. Kimes died — of natural causes — in 1994 that people in the orbit of Ms. Kimes and her son started disappearing.

Murder followed. Read it all here

While the link on the site was dead, I tracked it down and found it not to be just a crime article, but a crime novel with 16 chapters.

Bravo, sir - you win this week's wormhole to what the holy hell award, hands down.

Shakespeare originally intended that Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, to be a romantic comedy. When the plot came to a dead end, he changed the dramatic tract.

@JPK_elmediat though it may be, I ate your onion and it got me thinking.

All the best tragedies start as comedies. If a tale is dark from the start it steels the reader against what's to come, but if you can bring your audience to love and laugh with your characters before they meet their doom, then you've got them, hook, line and sinker.

Plus, if you read Romeo and Juliet, it's pretty clear to me that Shakespeare did exactly what you suggest: got sick of all the sappy romance characters halfway through writing the script, and decided they needed to die to liven things up a bit.
