Don't you want someone to care about you?

“Why the indifference, the cold apathy?  Why the aversion to the lure of new sensations?  Don't you want someone to make you laugh when things become impossibly tough?  To squeeze your hand when sadness overwhelms you, or to wipe your tears when sorrow overcomes you?  You think that you're strong enough to sail through it all alone, because love has passed you by and left you dry, and once bitten twice shy.”

“What you don't have won't hurt you.  What you have forgotten, you won't miss.  There is no sense in resurrecting old pains, no logic in reviving unpleasant thoughts and ugly scenes.  Life is good without unnecessary complications.  Freedom is a priceless possession.  Why rock the boat when it is sailing smoothly?  Why fix the darn thing when it isn't broken?”

“You can run, but you can't hide forever.  You can demur, but you can't balk and balk for long.  You can delay the inevitable, but you can't say never ever.  For deep in your heart of hearts, you know.  When the night winds blow, and darkness creeps in, you long for that warm touch, that soft glow.  The gentle, calming presence that strokes your fears away, and makes you slither into restful slumber, tucked safely in their tight embrace.”

“What is essential is invisible to the eye.  What is important, only the heart can see.  Nobody knows the trouble you're in unless you tell them.  Nobody knows what you want unless they look beneath the façade.   If they can't rise from their shallow moorings, why bother?  Relationships, or the idea of it, are just an overrated piece of crap.  What makes you feel good inside is all that matters – no apologies, no worries.”
