It went away as I grew and then, inexplicably came back in my mid-twenties. With the help of some psychotherapy I was able to uncover the source of the nightmare and have not been troubled by it since. years later, when I began my "late in life" writing career, I decided to use my own personal experiences as a musician, coupled with the recurring nightmare, to bring a sense of realism to that particular novel.(less)

Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

Ah, Alfred Lord Tennyson’s immortal words: “’Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Really? Actually, yes. In my opinion, at least. Why?
