“Thereâ€™s nothing wonderful or interesting about unrequited love. I think itâ€™s shitty, just plain shitty. To love someone who doesnâ€™t return your affections might be exciting in books, but in life itâ€™s unbearably boring. Iâ€™ll tell you whatâ€™s exciting: sweaty, passionate nights. But sitting on the veranda outside the home of a sleeping woman who isnâ€™t dreaming about you is slow moving and just plain sad.”
