Love now.
And did you fall in love last?
Love was stronger than anything.
You love for the love.
Love.
And they love you more than anything.
You're still love.

This is the modern Love podcast.
So every few years, modern love has a college essay contest.
There are thousands of submissions.
Most of them come in at the last minute, like literally the last minute.
These are college subjects, students.
This week's essay was part of the contest back in 2011, and I love how vulnerable the author is in the story.
I was absolutely not this vulnerable at 21.
It's called eating the Forbidden Ham Sandwich, written and read by Andrew Limbaugh.
At eight in the morning, I expected some old woman to be working behind the counter of the pharmacy, the kind of person who usually gets up at 06:00 a.m.
anyway.
Instead, there was this young guy in tight jeans and one of those faux keffia scarves.
When he asked me if I needed anything, I stepped aside to let my girlfriend, Sam, walk up to the counter.
