"I always said I’d be happier alone – I had my work, my friends, but someone in your life all the time? More trouble than its worth…apparently I got over it.
There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t because I thought I’d be happy alone. It’s because I felt if I loved someone and fell apart, I might not be able to make it.
It’s easier to be alone because what if you learn that you need love, and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain?
Losing love is like organ damage – it’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It can go on forever."
