“No human being, since the world began, has ever looked more ravishing.”

— Virginia Woolf, Orlando, 1928

“Thinking back to all the days when we were kids. Playing games and dropping hints and getting wide-eyed at a glimpse.”

I thought the feelings associated with playing games and dropping hints was tied to high-school love, which made me sad because that’s the most fun part. I was wrong.

“She’s going to love that sense of humour.”

I always thought love was about finding the right person, but lately I’ve been thinking about how that’s only the first step. First, you need to find the right person. Someone you click with. Someone you‘re attracted to. Someone you want to spend much of your time with. Someone who fits into your life like the last piece of a puzzle. Then, by some miracle, they need to feel the same way about you. So let’s say all of that happens... that’s just step one. Then, the timing needs to be right. Are you both single? Are either of you recovering from a big breakup? Are either of you going through that “I just want to focus on my career” phase we all seem to go through? Timing is everything. So, now let’s say you find the right person at the right time... you still need to be in the right place. Maybe this is too specific to my situation, but I’ve bounced back and forth between two countries a lot lately. No connection I make feels permanent- or at least the voice at the back of my mind reminds me, “you are just visiting here.”

Love is a numbers game. We are all out here with the slimmest of odds and just blind optimism telling us that this is all going to work out in the end. Part of me wants to say, “never tell me the odds.” But maybe- just maybe- we should put it into perspective and try just a little less.

If my love’s too strong for you, walk away

But I can’t make this wrong when I see your face
