Forever and Ever...
She spoke about 'forever'.
"You're not ready for forever," I said, "because you haven't been bruised."
"Why should we have to go through shit to find The One?" she asked.
Because you do.
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned. It would just be too god damn lucky for someone to find The One before being thoroughly fucked in the head, having experienced every possible relationship scenario, bled every millimetre of blood you need to bleed.
If you found The One before being annihilated, good on you. Fucking lucky bastard.

i second that -- you cannot truly appreciate real love until you've been royally fukt and cunted over. okay, so there might be one or two exceptions to that rule... but for the rest of us mere mortals, it holds true.
It's all because you can't get hurt unless you're really trying. People that never get hurt are... Unfortunate. The real opposite to the romantic. Lukewarm and fake.
You cannot experience certain joys without putting a little bit of your soul on the line.
Hilarious.
