The glass window bridge. This famous bridge links North Eleuthera to the mainland of Eleuthera. It is notable because on can see the dark Atlantic meeting the aquamarine Caribbean at the thinnest part of the island.

Two years ago today, Adele’s second album, ‘21’, was released in the United States, and to this day, it’s still a big seller (currently, it sits at No. 19 on the Billboard 200). Here’s just a fraction of its accomplishments:

- It is the best-selling digital album of all time in the U.S.
 
- To date, has sold over 25 million copies worldwide.
 
- Longest running number one album in the SoundScan era (which began tracking sales in 1991).
 
- 24 non-consecutive weeks at number one, the most since ‘Purple Rain’ in 1985.


- Achieved Diamond Award status (10 million copies sold in the U.S.) on November 28th, 2012 (92 weeks after its release), making it the first disc in over a decade to sell 10 million in less than 2 years.


- Sold more copies in the first quarter of 2012 than any album since 2005.
 
- It the first album to be the best-selling album two years in a row since Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ was the best-selling album of 1983 and 1984.
 
- Despite being over a year old, 21 sold more copies in 2012 than the best-selling albums of 2006 through 2010 sold in their respective years.
 
- Winner of 6 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Record of the Year (for “Rolling In The Deep”) and Song of the Year (also for “Rolling In The Deep”).
 
 
Happy Birthday, ‘21’.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.
