“ Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal. Highway or side streets. Kiss her or keep her. We make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness. It’s the best anyone can do.

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring… And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.” - Marylin Monroe

I really wonder what I’m looking for. I find all these different qualities in different people I can fall in love with really quickly, but this kind of intense love with one quality falls apart immediately when I find another quality that I cannot tolerate. If I cannot even tolerate, how could acceptance come into the picture? So, within the span of a few days or even a few hours, I can lose interest in someone that I was previously obsessed with. My attention span has shortened immensely. My capacity to love has diminished to a point where I wonder if I’ll ever really be capable of real love again. Or if I’m doomed to fall in and out of this pseudo form of love at the drop of a pin.

At the same time, this all makes me somewhat indestructible I suppose. If I cannot love, I cannot be hurt. And I can always do without someone.


That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.
