Interestingly, the cacao tree is a species of the genus Theobroma which translate from the Latin as ‘the food of the Gods’

You love someone, you open yourself up to suffering, that’s the sad truth.  Maybe they’ll break your heart, maybe you’ll break their heart and never be able to look at yourself in the same way.  Those are the risks.  You see two people and you think they belong together, but nothing happens. 

The thought of losing so much control over personal happiness is unbearable.  That’s the burden.  Like wings we feel that weight on our backs, but they are a burden that lifts us. Burden which allow us to fly…
