It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package.
That's what people do who love you. They put their arms around you and love you when you're not so lovable.
When what you want is a relationship, and not a person, get a dog.
I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this.
They say religion is about love, but you wonder how much of it really is about fear.
So I put up with bad behavior in the name of loving the way I thought you were supposed to love.
Too often in my life, love has been defined as "humiliation with occasional roses".
Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be one thing. One solid thing.
A relationship could be a place to hide too.
You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.
Truth was funny, because it was an insistent thing, maybe as powerful and insistent as some force of nature, the push of water or wind. You could keep it out only so long, but it had its own will and its own needs, and maybe you could keep it at bay with lies, but not for long, not for always.
Sometimes you can cattle rope your heart and sometimes you can't, is all.
but truthfully, a kiss needs something more important than curiosity. A kiss needs desire. A kiss should rocket past the excitement level of eating lettuce.
He's going for wisdom but the real wisdom is knowing there sometimes isn't any.
I shouldn't have to be a liar to make someone love me. I shouldn't be so afraid of losing someone that I'll do anything to make them stay.
It took me years to figure out that upset was upset, and tumultuousness was not the same thing as passion. Love isn't drama.
The most basic and somehow forgettable thing is this: Love is not pain. Love is goodness. And real love--it's less shiny than solid and simple.
It's weird to have him paying attention after years of not paying attention.
