I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because ‘romantic’ doesn’t mean ‘sugary.’ It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.
-- Catherine Breillat
I can't get enough of the beauty in the sunsets. My photos--taken with my phone from my front steps--are mere approximations, but they do at least remind me of the way the sky looked for five or ten minutes. I am amazed several times a week and I wish everyone else felt the same way. Who knows, maybe they do.
The quote above reminds me of the shock I felt when M said, in passing, as if it were obvious, that I am not emotional. That was the turning point in getting over our friendship -- I finally realized that she didn't know me and never had. I had no choice but to accept it, because there was no point in feeling hurt by it.
