I like that you let yourself be surprised

Why does he have to be my boyfriend? Are you inferior if you don't have a boyfriend? Why does everybody have to be in love with somebody?

As a writer, you live in such isolation. It's hard to imagine your book has a life beyond you.

I love you, I'll never stop.

It was a blessing and also a curse of handwritten letters that unlike email you couldn’t obsessively reread what you’d written after you’d sent it. You couldn’t attempt to un-send it. Once you’d sent it it was gone. It was an object that no longer belonged to you but belonged to your recipient to do with what he would. You tended to remember the feeling of what you’d said more than the words. You gave to object away and left yourself with the memory. That was what it was to give.

Do you have any idea how much I've loved you?

Love who you love while you have them. That's all you can do. Let them go when you must. If you know how to love, you'll never run out.
