«THERE SHOULD BE COURSE IN FIRST GRADE ON LOVE»

«I'm sure for him it's different since he's a walking sex object. I'm really confused. I think I want to to be independant sometimes, but if he would call me and say he is leaving for good and really do it, I think I would freak out. I've never been good at this. I've never really understood love or had a relationship that went smoothly. I always seem to seek rejection and the more I'm loved, the more I don't want to accept it because I want to be hurt. I like to pity myself or something»
