Dear Diary,

Here’s a recipe for love.

Start with two hearts, incomplete.

Rather than search for the missing pieces, take a needle and thread (or paste or hot glue) and attempt to bind them together.

Once they’re tethered together put them in the oven under high heat.

After 5 years, or 12 hours (depending on the hearts), take them out of the oven and into cold water.

Repeat the process at varying temperatures and times for all eternity.

If the hearts don’t come undone in the process.
