But also remember: if you have any genuine feelings, hide them like treasure; never let anyone so much as suspect them, or you're lost. Instead of being the executioner, you'll be the victim.

And to protect that love, even before you feel it, learn to despise the world.

Jack Kerouac

It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.

But then I wanted more time so we could fall in love. I got my wish, I suppose. I left my scar.
