It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.

I felt a constant, low-flying desperation, the kind you feel when you are trying, trying, trying to get something you will never, ever get.

Sometimes that´s all you need…, to know it´s not broken. To know you’re still whole and that you’ll heal.

Rejection, though--it could make the loss of someone you weren't even that crazy about feel gut wrenching and world ending.

What Dino spent most of his time doing was hiring and firing new managers. Since he ditched William Tiero three-plus years ago, he just want through these poor guys like you go through a bag of M&M's when you've got your period. Consume, and on the the next.

It was one of those times you feel a sense of loss, even though you didn't have something in the first place. I guess that's what disappointment is- a sense of loss for something you never had.

If letting go, if letting people and things work themselves out in the way that they needed to without your help was the most important thing, then it was also the hardest.
