You choose the end of the summer to fall in love with this guy because secretly, you don’t want it to last.

Should, is the worst word in the English language. People always think things "should" be a certain way, and when they're not, they're disappointed.

All men are a disappointment. No matter what anyone says.

If I'm with a man, is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself, if I'm with a man? Something that young women find out really quickly is that when you start dating, all of a sudden you're supposed to have a role. You're not allowed to just be yourself.

As Im writing, certain things become clear to me and certain things begin to feel right and make sense. The pieces start to fall into place.

Maybe all men are a drug. Sometimes they bring you down and sometimes, like now, they get you so high.

Love is spiritual. It's about self-sacrifice and commitment. And discipline. You cannot have true love without discipline and respect. When you lose the respect of your spouse, you've lost everything.
