" Most love stories are about people who fall in love with each other. But what about the rest of us? What about our stories? Those of us who fall in love alone. We are the victims of a one sided affair, we are the cursed of the loved ones, we are the unloved ones, the handicapped without the advance of a parking space."


" Because you're hoping you're wrong and everytime she does something that tells you she's no good, you would ignore it and everytime she comes through and surprises you, she wins you over and you lose that argument with yourself that she's not for you."


" What I'm trying to say is that I understand the feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how that it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter whether how many new haircuts you get or jumps you joy or how many glasses of Chardonnay you drink, you still go to bed every night going over every detail wondering what you did wrong or how you could've misunderstood. And how in the hell for that brief moment you could think you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that she'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new and you'll meet people that make you feel worthwhile again. Little pieces of your soul will finally come back and all that fuzzy stuff and years of being with the life you've wasted, that will eventually begin to fade"


" I've got a life to start living, and you're not in it. I think what I've got is something slightly resembling to...gumption"




Sorry about that, it's just the lines of Kate Winslet from "The Holiday" which were really profound. I liked how the lines were so heartfelt and chosen to show the character moving on from a one sided love. It really depicts the phases someone who is in an affair like this has to go through.Genius.
