Emotional Fuckwits

Bridget:
Resolution #1: will obviously lose 20 lbs. #2: always put last night's panties in the laundry basket. Equally important: will find nice sensible boyfriend and stop forming romantic attachments to any of the following: alcoholics, workoholics, sexaholics, commitment-phobics, peeping toms, megalomaniacs, emotional fuckwits, or perverts.

Will especially stop fantasizing about a particular person who embodies all these things.

Joy Gresham: We can't have the happiness of yesterday without the pain of today. That's the deal.

C.S.Lewis: Why love, if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore: only the life I have lived. Twice in that life I've been given the choice: as a boy and as a man. The boy chose safety, the man chooses suffering. The pain now is part of the happiness then. That's the deal. "
