“It was true that he had many qualities I desired in the man of my dreams, but that didn’t erase the set of undesirable qualities within him. Based on the desired qualities, I had made him up as a person that he probably wasn’t in reality. If he was lovable, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t see me cry; if we were alike in many ways, it didn’t mean that he understood me every time; if he showed concern for me, it didn’t mean that he could never hurt me.

I needed to shift my focus from my idea of him and an imagined future life with him to the real person and his willingness to let go of the idea of us being together in the future for a different reality.”

“He knew how often I needed to travel to be sane, what my favorite places were, which seat I would choose in a restaurant, which songs I listened to depending on my mood, how I looked when I was hungry, how much sugar I would like in my coffee, what hurt me and what would fix it, when I craved a hug and how tight should that be, how to make out my mood from my voice and how fast my heart would beat if I was asked to address a gathering of five hundred people.”
