When you're in love, you're asking someone else to fulfill all your unfulfilled needs, to make you whole, and to make you feel good about everything, and no one can do that.

No one is asking what happened to all the homeless. No one cares, because it's easier to get on the subway and not be accosted.

Whatever story you want to tell, tell it at the right size.
