reviewed my past
and felt a deluge of confusion
Therefore I knew
a diagram must be drawn:

1998.09 I met B
2013.12 I fell in love with B
2016.05 I met D
2016.08 I met F
2016.09 I fell in love with F
2016.11 I was in love with F but with B
2017.01 I fell in love with B again
2017.02 I fell out of love with F
2017.03 I fell in love with D and was still in love with B, talking to F
2017.04 I was in love with D, talking to B and F
2017.05 I met M, fell out of love with B and D, fell in love with M, and was talking to B, D, and F.
2017.07 I fell out of love with M, and saw B.
2017.08 I felt love for B, met N, and fell in love with N.
2017.09 I fell out of love with N, met Q, was talking to both B, M, and F.
2017.10 I fell out of love with Q and was in love with F again.

Now that the diagram is made

But my confusion hasn’t yet solved
So this time I knew,
some math has to be done:

1 x B x B + 1 x D + 1 x F x F + 1/2 B + 1/2 F
+ B x B - F x F + D x D + 1/2 B + 1/2 F + 1 x M x M
- B x B - D x D + 1/2 B + 1/2 D + 1/2 F
- M x M + 1/2 B + 1 x N x N + 1/2 B + 1/2 M - N x N
+ 1 x Q x Q + 1/2 F - Q x Q + F x F
= ( 1 x 1 - 1 ) B 2 + ( 5 x 1/2 ) B
+ ( 1 - 1 + 1 ) F 2 + ( 4 x 1/2 )F
+ ( 1 - 1 ) D 2 + ( 1 + 1/2 ) D
+ ( 1 - 1 ) M 2 + 1/2 M
+ ( 1 - 1 ) N 2
+ ( 1 - 1 ) Q 2
= B 2 + 2.5 B + F 2 + 2F + 1.5 D + 0.5 M
