Maybe I was destined to forever fall in love with people I couldn't have. Maybe there's a whole assortment of impossible people waiting for me to find them. Waiting to make me feel the same impossibility over and over again.

Sometimes it was good to feel like a wretch of a girl who didn't have the right clothes to keep her warm.

I feel a little better.

[folketymology]

Really feeling bad about my lack of romantic interest in anyone.

I had this terribly long crush-dryspell, and then I had a kind of love. So I get it. It’s hard to know where to go from that. But I need to move on. And to move on, I need some hint that what I had isn’t one of a kind, some hint that it really will happen for me again.

Everyone just seems gross lately. I don’t know if that’s just New York or if that’s me.

Fine. It's fine.

Happy love songs are harder to listen to than the sad ones because they just remind me of what I've lost.

I have a love, and it's all that I have. Right or wrong, what can I do?

He said: "That's a pretty good definition of love."

[folketymology]

Heartbroken.
