I did learn something about insanity while I was down there. People go crazy, not because they are crazy, but because it's the best available option at the time.

And when she dreams, she dreams of a girl who was lost at sea but one day found the shore.

Maybe if I'd been braver in that moment, I would have cried.

The casualities seemed to go on and on. Just when I thought I was done losing her, I would find yet another way to love her all over again.

I wondered if the person who really loves you is the person who knows all your stories, the person who WANTS to know all your stories.

The only love she inspires is the canine kind.

I wish I could tell you to always follow your heart, but I think it is bad advice. You have a heart, yes, it is true, but also a brain and also a soul. I've come to believe that we love with our brains as much as our hearts. Real Love is not just instinct, but intent...... From year to year, you may not always be the same Jane. This is perfectly normal. A Jane is many Janes in a lifetime.
