\u201cSo what have you learned about love?\u201d people often ask when they find out I\u2019m an editor of Modern Love.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, you know,\u201d I say, \u201ca lot.\u201d Or, \u201cMost clich\u00e9s are accurate.\u201d Or I delay, promising, \u201cI\u2019ll tell you later.\u201d<\/p>\n

In case we don\u2019t meet again, I\u2019ll tell you now: After 10 years of participating in this unique and precious work alongside my thoughtful boss, Daniel Jones, I\u2019ve learned that love is like a form of energy \u2014 sustenance as integral to our existence as food, sunshine and the air we breathe.<\/p>\n

And I believe love, like energy, is indestructible, constantly transferred between people, passed down from one generation to the next, durable through time and even death<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Joan Didion was correct when she wrote: \u201cLife changes fast. Life changes in an instant. You sit down to dinner and life as you know it ends.\u201d Spend two minutes in the Modern Love submission inbox, and you will appreciate life\u2019s fragility. Loved ones suddenly dying or becoming sick; deciding post-affair that they\u2019re done with a two-decade marriage and don\u2019t want custody of the kids<\/a>; or revealing a family secret that upends everything.<\/p>\n

Just as common, however, are happy happenstances. Falling in love with a man who grew up on the same block as you and worked in the same building, but whom you didn\u2019t meet until a chance midlife encounter<\/a>. Talking to a stranger on the train who provides sage, unsolicited advice. Or witnessing a hawk \u2014 the likes of which you\u2019ve never seen in your neighborhood \u2014 swoop down the day you and your wife visit the man who received your late daughter\u2019s organs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
