people wish want
Don't you wish we could pick the people we love?" "Yeah," I say. "Or just make the people we love want the same things we want.
knowing people comforting
there is always something comforting about knowing that you are not alone. That other people feel the way you do. That you are a bit screwed up, but still normal.
believe fate people
There are people and places and events you'd prefer to forget or at least gloss over. In the end, you can slap a pretty label on it - like serendipity or fate. Or you can believe that it's just the random way life unfolds.
love-is emotional people
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can end up focusing on misleading factors. Stuff that really has more to do with personality-the fact that some people are simply more expressive or emotional or needy in a relationship. But beyond such smokescreens, the answer is there. Love is seldom-almost never-an even proposition.
people said understood
I had never understood what people meant when they said they'd rather be alone if they couldn't be in the right relationship. Now I got it.
cheating good-relationship people
People generally didn't cheat in good relationships.
two people what-if

careers people wish
No, scratch the word "career." Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck.
eye thinking people
I think the most well-adjusted people live in the present with an eye toward the future - I'm not among those.

You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.
night knowing long
It was the same night I gave myself to him completely, knowing that I would belong to him for as long as he wanted to keep me. And, as it turned out, even longer than that.
mad being-sad easier
I learned that getting mad was easier than being sad.
fate blind-belief sorrow
Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole "things happening for a reason" drill.
wind trying factors
You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.
