What happens when...two people whom are madly in love with each other, can not be together? Hmm... I shall dive head first into this topic being that I know this story oh too well. And from first-hand experience with this not-so-tall tale, I would like to, on the behalf of everyone who is going through this tough time with me, say yes indeed it sucks! You find yourself in a whirlwind of heartaches, an ocean filled to the top with the water from your very own eyes, and at the very least a never-ending fight for the one you love. A fight you probably already can tell by now, you will not win. However, for those of you who have not given up the fight by now and are willing to keep fighting, kinda like myself, please for all of us keep fighting! Maybe you can experience that breakthrough moment and come back and share it will the rest of us in this war. Yes, I said it, war, because it is exactly what this is, a war.

We are on the front line in a battle for his or her love, hoping for that one day when we achieve such a great victory and win over his or her love. Like all the stories go, we know for the most part the outcome of the soldiers on the front line. Normally, they are the first ones to get shot down...in more ways then one. If you don't believe me, how many times have you heard this story: The nice guy going up to the one they believe is the right one and try to have a conversation with them only to get shot down for someone who is not even on there level. Yes, it happens a lot and that soldier is now what I call a wounded veteran in the battle of love! But back to the story at hand, "What happens when..."

When two people who are madly in love with each other can not be together, it may cost extreme pain and deep depression depending on why they can not be together. I would go as far to say that this can even be a fatal attraction. Look at the classic story; yes we all saw this coming, "Romeo and Juliet." They were two love birds that had something precious toward one another. Their love should have been allowed to blossom into a great relationship, but did that happen... No! Instead, it ended in a fatal way. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I encourage you to read the book, it is a great read. However, I hope that ending is not how it has to be for us lover today!



For those of you who see yourself in this story and even for those of you who haven't experienced this not-so-tall tale yet, I would like to extend my advice. First, do your research and make sure this person is worth the fight you are about to endure or you are already in. Secondly, I want to tell you if it is exactly the person you want to spend the rest of your life with please Don't Give Up! Third, do not, I repeat do not lose track of yourself and who you are! Very important piece of advice. And lastly, if you know someone in the same fight as you, encourage them that if it is meant to be, it'll be!

Don't stop loving, guys, and stay positive. This is Rahmir, aka The E-Book signing out with the first topic on "What Happens When..." series. Keep reading!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
